About this map

Cornell serves as the focal point of this Chippewa County landscape, situated at the confluence of the Chippewa River and the Fisher River. The town's grid is defined by streets such as Main St and Bridge St, while the surrounding area is heavily defined by its complex hydrography. The massive Holcombe Flowage 4700 dominates the northeast, while Brunet Island sits prominently in the river just west of the city center.

Outdoor recreation and conservation land use are evident through the presence of the Ice Age Natl Scenic Trl, which winds past Firth Lake and Spring Cr Flowage Number One. Numerous smaller waterways, including N Fork Bob Cr, S Fork Bob Cr, and Cranberry Cr, create a dense network of tributaries and wetlands. This survey illustrates a rural Wisconsin community where the local economy and geography remain inextricably tied to the management of its river systems.
