About this map

The settlement of Tarrant anchors a landscape defined by an intricate network of coulees and valleys in this 2013 survey of Pepin County. The terrain is deeply carved by watercourses, most notably Bear Cr and Tiffany Cr, which flow through family-named landmarks like Newton Valley and Brunner Coulee. These geographic features suggest a long history of agricultural settlement, where the placement of roads and farms was dictated by the drainage patterns of the Farrington Cr and Tamarack Cr systems.

A transition in transport and land use is evident along the Us-10 corridor, which cuts across the northern portion of the map, contrasting with the winding rural routes like County Hwy-J and Zittel Rd. Genealogists and local historians can find value in the specific naming of remote areas such as Isham Valley, Steinke Valley, and Dugan Valley, providing a clear record of the families who shaped this corner of Wisconsin.
