About this map

West Salem serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at the confluence of several geological and hydrologic features. The village is bound to the north by the waters of Neshonoc Lake and the winding La Crosse River, which transitions into a complex system of valleys and coulees. The terrain is defined by these named hollows, including Adams Valley, McKinley Valley, and the notable Mindoro Cut to the north.

Transport and utility infrastructure are well-documented, with the West Salem Wastewater Treatment Facility located on the village's western edge. Beyond the main settlement, smaller locales like Burns Corners appear at rural intersections. The map preserves the specific nomenclature of the region's unique geography, documenting numerous named coulees such as Larson Coulee, Eggens Coulee, and Bergum Coulee, which define the drainage patterns feeding into Neshonoc Cr and Burns Cr.
