2013 Map of Urne

About this map

Urne and its surrounding Buffalo County landscape are defined by a complex network of coulees and bluffs typical of Wisconsin's driftless region. The settlement at Urne sits at the convergence of several rural routes including Co HWY-F and Co HWY-K, while the wider area is carved by watercourses like Little Bear Cr and the uniquely named By Golly Cr. Notable terrain features such as Rattlesnake Bluff and Fox Bluff rise above the valleys, where local family sites like Klopp Farm appear alongside geographically descriptive names like Larson Valley and Church Valley. In the southwestern corner, the terrain drops toward the Mississippi floodplain, where Wi-35 follows the Great River Rd near the mouth of Deer Creek. The map documents a rural economy structured by the winding paths of Trout Cr and Center Cr, where the roads often follow the narrow valley floors.
