About this map

The Chippewa River carves through the northwestern corner of this landscape, defining the topography near Cobban and the expansive waters of Old Abe Lake. This 2015 survey reveals a predominantly rural agricultural and woodland area in Chippewa County, organized by a regular grid of section roads such as 180th Ave and Co Rd K. To the east, the small settlements of Crescent and Drywood serve as local hubs for the surrounding farmstead network.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant landmarks, including the Pine Grove Cem near Drywood and the Bohemian Cem further south. The drainage patterns are dominated by the intricate reaches of Little Drywood Cr and Big Drywood Cr, which snake through the southeastern townships toward Seth Cr. The map illustrates the contemporary rural character of this region, maintaining its 19th-century township-and-range structure while reflecting modern land management and wetland preservation.
