1941 Map of Arkansaw
USGS Topo · Published 1941About this map
The Chippewa River corridor and the deeply etched coulees of the Driftless Area define this landscape at the start of the 1940s. The village of Arkansaw serves as a hub near the confluence of Arkansaw Creek and the Eau Galle River, while the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad traces the eastern bank of the Chippewa. The map reveals an intricate network of rural education and faith, with dozens of institutions like Poplar Grove Sch, St Joseph Ch, and the Lund Sch serving dispersed farming families. Geologic features such as The Hogback and Eau Galle Mound rise above the river bottomlands, while Buffalo Island sits between the main river channel and Buffalo Slough. This survey captures the transition from small hamlets like Exile and Nerike toward the consolidated agricultural region of modern Pepin County.
