It lies 31.1 miles east-north-east of La Crosse, WI (from La Crosse, WI: bearing 62°T), and is situated 7.8 miles north-east of Sparta. The terrain here is a study in gentle slopes and broad valleys, a terrain that has been shaped by ancient glaciers and the slow, persistent flow of water. Dense stands of hardwoods, their leaves a riot of green in summer and a fiery spectacle in autumn, give way to open fields where sunlight pools like liquid gold. The land itself seems to hold a quiet resilience, a sturdy character that speaks of seasons endured and cycles of growth and rest. The distant rumble of training exercises sometimes punctuates the otherwise hushed atmosphere, a reminder of the purpose that defines this significant installation. The history of Fort McCoy is deeply intertwined with the agricultural heartland it inhabits, its origins stretching back to the early 20th century as a training ground. Over the decades, it has evolved, its economy mirroring the shifting needs of national defense while remaining a steadfast presence in Monroe County. The land around Fort McCoy, once primarily given over to dairy farms and fields of corn and soy, now shares its contours with the infrastructure of a modern military installation. The La Crosse River flows nearby, a ribbon of cool water that has witnessed the passage of time and the changing face of this region, its banks providing a quiet counterpoint to the purposeful activity within Fort McCoy.
