About this map

Chippewa Falls serves as the industrial and civic anchor of this 1972 landscape, where the confluence of the Chippewa River and Duncan Creek shaped the town's development. The map details a dense urban core featuring the Courthouse, City Hall, and several parochial institutions like St Joseph Hosp and McDonell Central High Sch. Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into the rural townships of Tilden and Wheaton, characterized by numerous Gravel Pits and Sandpits that indicate the region's glacial geology and aggregate industry.

Smaller settlements and named locales such as Irvine, Hallie, and Old Badger Mills are connected by a robust transportation network including the Chicago and North Western, Soo Line, and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads. Notable water features like the Tilden Millpond and Glen Loch Lake offer a look at the area's recreational and hydraulic history, while several family-named burial sites including Rumery Cem provide critical points of interest for local genealogists.
