1963 Map of St. Joseph
USGS Topo · Published 1992About this map
The ridge and valley landscape of La Crosse County is sharply defined in this early 1960s survey, where St Joseph Ridge divides the drainage basins of the area. The small settlement of St Joseph sits atop this high ground, while the community of Barre Mills is positioned to the northwest where the terrain transitions into the valley floor. The map documents a dense network of coulees, including Russian Coulee, Tollefson Coulee, and Kreibich Coulee, which dictate the placement of local roads and farmsteads. This era shows a well-distributed system of rural education and faith, with Pleasant Valley Sch, Sunny Mede Sch, and St Johns Sch serving the surrounding hamlets. Resource extraction is evident through numerous Quarries and Gravel Pits scattered along the ridges, supporting the local infrastructure alongside the Coulee State Experimental Forest.
