1969 Map of Stevenstown

About this map

The Black River meanders through the heart of this landscape, marking the boundary between Trempealeau and La Crosse counties. Along the northern reaches, Hardies Creek State Forest preserves the timbered slopes above Hardies Creek. This area is defined by its deep coulees, with family-named drainages like Ponstad Coulee, Moe Coulee, and Gavin Coulee cutting through the terrain. These geographical features dictated the placement of early infrastructure, including Stevenstown and the network of cemeteries like Glasgow and Sacia Cem that served the dispersed farming communities in the Farmington and Holland townships.
