2022 Map of West Salem

Genealogists will find several burial grounds throughout the landscape, including Neshonoc Cem, Wet Coulee Cem, and Burns Cem. The topography is defined by a series of named coulees—deep valleys typical of the Driftless Area—such as Jordson Coulee, Scotch Coulee, and Eggens Coulee. Transport routes like the La Crosse River State Trl follow the natural geography of the valley floor, while features like the Mindoro Cut indicate how early road-building navigated the high ridges like Krueger Hill.
