About this map

West Salem serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at the confluence of the La Crosse River and Neshonoc Creek. The area is defined by its numerous coulees, including Bergum Coulee and Eggens Coulee, which highlight the distinct topography of the region. A significant landmark is the Neshonoc 2WP44239 Dam, which impounds the waters of the Neshonoc Lake 390, a central feature for the surrounding communities.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, such as Hamilton Cemetery, Neshonoc Cemetery, and Wet Coulee Cemetery to the north. Transportation and recreational routes are prominent, with the State Bike Trl and various county highways connecting small settlements like Burns Corners and Mindoro Cut. The map documents a blend of established residential areas around the West Salem Post Office and more rural, valley-bottom agricultural zones in McKinley Valley and Adams Valley.
