About this map

The Eau Galle River corridor defines the geography of this mid-1970s western Wisconsin landscape, marked by the engineering of the Eau Galle Reservoir. The village of Spring Valley sits just below the reservoir's dam, featuring local landmarks like Handy-Andy Memorial Park and the nearby St John Cem. To the southeast, the village of Elmwood serves as a secondary hub, anchored by Butternut Park and a local substation.

Rural life in the townships of Spring Lake, Cady, and Rock Elm is anchored by numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as St Michael Ch and Spring Lake Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The terrain is dotted with several quarries and natural features like Franklin Spring and Porter Spring, illustrating the region's reliance on both its geological resources and its perennial water sources.
