About this map

Trempealeau sits at a dramatic bend where the Trempealeau River meets the Mississippi River, anchored by a series of prominent river bluffs that define the regional geography. This 2011 survey illustrates the diverse topography of the driftless region, from the flat reaches of the Trempealeau Prairie to the steep elevations of Eagle Bluff, Bunnels Bluff, and the iconic Trempealeau Mountain. These landmarks rise sharply above the river valley, providing natural fortification and clear vantage points that have historically influenced settlement patterns in this part of Wisconsin.

The map details several rural hubs including Centerville, Wrights Corners, and Lamoille, connected by a network of local roads such as County Hwy S and County Hwy K. Cultural and recreational sites are well-documented, including Perrot State Park, which encompasses several of the major bluffs, and multiple local burial grounds like Evergreen Cemetery and the Old Catholic Cemetery. Smaller aviation facilities like Schubert Airstrip and Carhart Farms Airport dot the agricultural landscape, reflecting the modern utility of these prairie lands.
