Abstract	Determining the influence of a city in a region is a complex problem. Not only does a city supply the requirements needed by its region, but it in turn serves as a market and distributing center for products raised and made in the region. This study is concerned with the first mentioned phase of relationships. Each single service supplied by a city can have its service area mapped. Combined service areas present a composite picture that aids in determining the influence of a city in its region. Two methods of studying service areas are presented here. An intraurban study of La Crosse service areas was made by interviewing managers of selected retail stores, wholesale firms, and service agencies in the city. A second study of service areas was made from questionnaires filled out by families in La Crosse's surrounding Tri-State region.
