2022 Map of Taylor

About this map

The Trempealeau River winds through this Jackson County landscape, carving a wide valley flanked by several distinct coulees such as Skutley Coulee, Pete Coulee, and Curran Coulee. The settlement of Taylor sits in the west, while the communities of Hixton, Sechlerville, and Disco are distributed along the network of county highways and local roads. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich with burial sites, including Sechlerville Cem, Sherwood Cem, Woodlawn Cem, Colwell Cem, and French Creek Cem. The terrain is defined by the contrast between the flat river bottoms and the many drainage basins like Pine Cr and French Cr, which historically dictated the placement of homesteads and early transport routes through this part of west-central Wisconsin.
