About this map

The La Crosse River carves a central path through this portion of Monroe County, anchoring the city of Sparta and the smaller settlements of Angelo and Leon. The landscape is defined by the intersection of water and industry, visible in features like the Paper Mill Dam on Perch Lake 143 and the Angelo H629.3 Dam which creates the Angelo 131 Reservoir. These waterworks reflect a long history of utilizing the river's power.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped, including Mount Hope Cemetery, Saint Johns Cemetery, and the Saint Patricks Cemetery located south of the main city. The map also captures the local transportation network, highlighting the Elroy Sparta State Trl and the Sparta Landing Field. Natural landmarks such as Castle Rock and Putnam Ridge rise above the river valleys, providing distinct topographical markers for the area.
