About this map

The Chippewa River carves a sweeping path through this portion of Chippewa County, defining the local topography and historical transportation corridors. Near the small settlement of Cobban, the river splits to form Willow Island, a prominent landform at the intersection of rural county roads and the Old Abe State Trl. This trail, following a former rail alignment along the river's eastern bank, reflects the region's transition from an industrial timber and transit corridor to one focused on recreational conservation.

Moving inland, the landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Big Drywood Creek and Little Drywood Creek, which meander through a grid of section-line roads and scattered agricultural settlements like Crescent and Drywood. For those tracing local heritage, the Bohemian Cemetery stands as a significant cultural marker east of the Drywood area, anchoring the history of the early European families who settled these rural townships.
