2015 Map of Whitehall

About this map

Whitehall serves as the focal point of this Trempealeau County landscape, situated at the confluence of several prominent coulees and the Trempealeau River. The map illustrates a deeply etched topography where agricultural life is defined by these narrow valleys, such as Irvin Coulee and Larkin Valley, which cut through the high ridges. This drainage pattern is further reinforced by Pigeon Creek and Fly Cr, creating a network of natural corridors that influenced the placement of original homesteads and cemeteries. Genealogists will find the locations of several burial grounds preserved, including Lincoln Cem and Old Whitehall Cem near the town center, as well as the more remote Tinnes Cem and Carpenter Cem. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive landmarks like Square Bluff, showing how the early road network, including Co Rd Q and Co Rd S, was forced to follow the winding contours of the land.
