About this map

Spring Valley Lake and the Eau Galle River corridor dominate the topography of this west-central Wisconsin landscape, where the borders of Pierce, Saint Croix, and Dunn counties meet. The area is defined by a deep valley system carved by the river and its tributaries, including Burkhardt Cr and Cady Cr, punctuated by significant elevations like Hammond Hill and Tuttle Hill.

Settlement patterns in the early 21st century remain centered on the village of Spring Valley at the northern lakehead and Elmwood to the southeast. Genealogists will find a cluster of burial grounds including Saint Michael Cem, Saint John Cem, and Oak Ridge Cem, which serve as markers for the rural communities that have long inhabited these ridgelines and bottoms. The presence of Mines Cr near the primary settlement points to the region's historic extraction industry, which shaped the development of these river towns.
