About this map

The Chippewa River dominates this landscape at the confluence with the Red Cedar River, creating a complex network of wetlands and backwaters. The terrain is characterized by the prominent Waubeek Mound and the expansive Lower Dunnville Bottoms, where the river splits around Ninemile Island. This hydrological pattern suggests a region defined by seasonal flooding and shifting sandbars, visible in features like the Yellow Bank and the numerous sloughs and bends such as Ninemile Slough and Snaggy Bend.

Settlement is concentrated at Durand in the south, while the smaller hamlets of Dunnville and Red Cedar occupy the northern reaches. The area is dotted with numerous small lakes and creeks, including Schlosser Lake, Bear Lake, and Old Bear Cr, indicating a rich riparian environment. The road network, including Wi-25 and Wi-85, follows the natural contours of the river valleys, connecting these riverside communities.
