About this map

Arcadia and the smaller settlement of Tamarack anchor this Trempealeau County landscape, where the Wisconsin Driftless Area's characteristic topography creates a complex network of branching valleys and ridges. The terrain is defined by its numerous coulees—deep, narrow valleys—including German Coulee, Severson Coulee, and Fox Coulee, which dictate the winding paths of local roads like Norway Valley Rd and Bear Coulee Rd.

Hydrographic features such as Tamarack Cr and Turton Cr drain these highlands, while prominent landforms like Oak Ridge and Arcadia Ridge rise above the agricultural floors of Thompson Valley and Newcomb Valley. The map detail captures the intersection of rural infrastructure and difficult terrain, showing how state route Wi-93 navigates the elevation changes between the northern settlements and the southern coulee systems.
