2015 Map of Tunnel City

About this map

Tunnel City sits at a geographic crossroads in Monroe County, marking a landscape where the headwaters of the La Crosse River and several smaller tributaries like Whisky Cr and Mill Cr have carved a series of distinct valleys. The area is characterized by these lowlands, most notably Tarr Valley, which provide natural corridors for transport and settlement. Small communities and clusters of homes are scattered throughout these openings, including Summit Valley, Kirby, Union Valley, and Pleasant Valley. In the north, the village of Warrens serves as a local hub near the Warren Mills Cem. The mapping reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Saint Marys Cem, Greenfield Cem, and Boyonton Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The presence of Flora Dell Lake near the western edge adds a focal point for the drainage patterns of Sparta Cr and Tarr Cr within this deeply etched terrain.
