Black River Falls is a city on the Black River. It is the county seat of Jackson County. Proterozoic igneous and metamorphic rocks including Archean to Proterozoic granites and gneiss outcrop along the river. Large outcrops of 1840 +/-20 m.y. old granite outcrop at the dam in down town Black River Falls. Nearby mounds are outliers of Cambrian sandstone. Some mounds are underlain by resistant iron formation. The nearby Jackson County Iron Mine exploited one of these deposits.
