1934 Map of Chippewa Falls

About this map

Chippewa River and the Eau Claire River dominate this landscape, meeting in a region defined by early 20th-century hydraulic development and railway expansion. The massive Lake Wissota spreads across the east, created by the damming of the river, while the city of Chippewa Falls serves as a primary industrial hub. This era shows a dense network of rural infrastructure, including a remarkable number of country schools such as Wood Sch, Eagle Sch, and Frederick Sch, which served the farming communities of Hallie and Tilden.
