About this map

Whitehall serves as the primary hub of this Trempealeau County landscape, situated where the Trempealeau River meets Pigeon Creek. The surrounding terrain is defined by its deep coulees and valleys, including Irvin Coulee, Larkin Valley, and Welch Coulee, which highlight the intricate drainage patterns of the region. This topographic detail allows researchers to trace the relationship between family landholdings and the difficult geography of the Driftless Area, where narrow roads like Richter Rd and Skundberg Rd navigate between prominent rises such as Square Bluff.

Genealogists will find significant value in the location of several burial grounds, including the Old Whitehall Cemetery, Lincoln Cemetery, Carpenter Cemetery, and Tinnes Cemetery. The map also documents local water management through features like the Jensen Dam and Howley Dam on North Creek, as well as the Dettloff Paul 3WC77816 Dam on Lakes Coulee Creek, reflecting the importance of these waterways to the local rural economy.
