About this map

Augusta serves as the primary hub in this mid-1980s landscape, where the Eau Claire River meanders through the northern reaches near Whippoorwill Creek. The area is defined by a blend of conservation and recreation, most notably the expansive Augusta State Wildlife Area and the Coon Fork County Park surrounding Coon Fork Lake. A distinctive agricultural and industrial footprint is visible through the presence of a Cranberry Bog and numerous gravel and shale pits scattered across the township.

Transportation history is etched into the terrain by the Chicago and North Western Railroad Grade, which parallels Travis Creek. Local history researchers will find several rural institutions, including the Forest View School and Diamond Valley School, alongside family-named landmarks like the Papenfuss Landing Strip. The southern boundary near Livermore and Diamond Valley showcases the transition from managed wildlife habitats to the structured rural grid of Bridge Creek and Fairchild townships.
