2015 Map of Spring Valley

About this map

The Eau Galle River corridor defines the landscape of western Wisconsin along the borders of Pierce, Saint Croix, and Dunn Counties. In this mid-2010s survey, the village of Spring Valley sits at the northern end of the map, adjacent to the prominent Spring Valley Lake. This area was historically shaped by mining activities, a legacy suggested by Mines Cr flowing into the valley. Further south, the village of Elmwood serves as a local hub near the confluence of Cady Cr and the river. The surrounding rural landscape is dotted with generational landmarks essential for family history research, including Saint Michael Cem in the north and Spring Lake Cem near the river's bend. Significant natural features like Hammond Hill and Tuttle Hill rise above the agricultural grid, while Franklin Spring and Porter Spring provide perennial water sources in the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
