2022 Map of Tarrant

About this map

The tiny settlement of Tarrant marks the intersection of local routes along the Pepin and Buffalo County line, serving as a rare point of congregation in a landscape dominated by a complex network of coulees and valleys. This 2022 survey reveals a deeply dissected terrain where the ridge-and-valley topography dictates the path of every road and settlement, such as those winding through Brunner Coulee and Isham Valley. To the east, the Bear Creek Swamp serves as a significant drainage basin for Bear Creek, illustrating the hydraulic connection between the uplands and the river bottoms. Local history is anchored by sites like the Sacred Heart Cem in Dugan Valley, while family names are immortalized in features like Johnson Schultz Valley, Carrel Valley, and Steinke Valley.
