West Salem and the expanding waters of Neshonoc Lake anchor this 2015 study of the driftless region's unique geography. The landscape is defined by its namesake "coulees"—deep, narrow valleys like Sweden Coulee and Gavin Coulee—which carve through the upland terrain towards the La Crosse River floodplain. This area reflects a deep history of settlement and agriculture, evidenced by several family and community burial grounds including Neshonoc Cem and Hamilton Cem.
