This map displays the spatial results of the
Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA)
conducted for La Crosse County, Wisconsin.
This LESA model evaluates working lands
based on seven scoring criteria. Working
lands scoring greater than 70 points can be
considered high priority. If protecting
working lands is an important public value,
then towns or the county might consider
policies that protect these areas.
