About this map

The Chippewa River dominates this portion of Wisconsin, winding through a complex network of wetlands and riverine features south of Dunnville. The landscape is defined by the shifting waters of Ninemile Slough, which create landforms like Ninemile Island, Cranes Bend, and Snaggy Bend. Along the riverbanks, the Yellow Bank and the prominent Waubeek Mound provide distinctive elevation in an otherwise low-lying fluvial environment. The Lower Dunnville Bottoms suggest a history of seasonal flooding and rich alluvial soil that shaped early land use in the area.

Further south, the city of Durand serves as a primary hub where road networks converge near the river's edge. Local history is anchored by several sites of interest for genealogists, including Evergreen Cemetery, Waubeek Cemetery, and Holy Rosary Cemetery. The map also captures several smaller water bodies like Schlosser Lake, Thompson Lake, and Wallace Lake, which dot the terrain alongside the tributary flows of Bear Creek and Old Bear Creek.
