1984 Map of Stenulson Coulee

About this map

The branching ravines of Stenulson Coulee and numerous creek valleys define the transition from the rolling uplands of Jackson County into the Black River State Forest. In the mid-1980s, the landscape was a mosaic of agricultural plots and dense woodland, connected by a network of named country roads such as Sand Prairie Road and Squirrel Road. Small settlements like Adams and Cloverdale appear alongside evidence of local industry, including Charcoal Kilns and scattered Shale Pits. Genealogy researchers can find several burial grounds across the townships of Alma, Hixton, and Albion, including the Pine Creek Cem, Squaw Cr Cem, and the County Farm Cem. The topography is particularly detailed along Squaw Creek and the Br Trempealeau R, showing the intricate drainage patterns that shaped local land use and farm placement.
