2016 Map of Yellowstone Lake

About this map

Yellowstone Lake and its surrounding watershed define the topography of this southern Wisconsin borderland where Iowa and Lafayette counties meet. The small settlement of Yellowstone sits tucked into the hills above the Yellowstone River, which winds its way toward the larger E Br Pecatonica River. The area is characterized by deep valleys like Glenn Valley and Star Valley, as well as distinctive geographic features like the Horseshoe Bend loop. Genealogical interest is centered on several scattered burial grounds, including Yellowstone Lutheran Cem and Saint Michaels Catholic Cem. This 2016 survey documents the rural character of the Driftless Area, where a complex network of local roads such as Durkin Rd and Atkinson Rd trace the ridgelines and creek bottoms of the English Hollow landscape.
