About this map

Tomah serves as the primary hub of this Monroe County landscape, situated at the confluence of several key valleys and waterways. The S Fork Lemonweir River and Lake Tomah dominate the eastern sector, while the western terrain is defined by a series of distinct ridges and lowlands, including Stevens Valley, Reels Valley, and Linnehan Valley. This geography created natural corridors for movement, evidenced by the modern transit lines that follow the path of the Jacksonville Valley.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, from the larger Oak Grove Cem and Saint Mary's Catholic Cem near the town center to smaller, more remote sites like Aney Cem, Noth Cem, and Worden-Burroughs Cem. High points such as Pikes Peak and Windrow Bluff offer a glimpse into the significant elevation changes that shaped local settlement patterns and road placement.
