About this map

The Chippewa River dominates this early 1970s landscape, winding through a complex network of backwaters and islands south of Dunnville. The confluence with the Eau Galle River and the braided channels of Ninemile Slough create a distinctive riparian environment, notably at the Lower Dunnville Bottoms. Human development is concentrated near the river’s edge, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad tracks trace the northern bank toward the community of Durand.

Upland features provide a view into the area’s local history and public spaces. The sheet identifies Waubeek Mound rising above the bottomlands, and the Dunnville Public Hunting Grounds occupying the northeastern river flats. Local landmarks include Caddie Woodlawn Park, Schlosser Field, and the Evergreen and Waubeek cemeteries, offering specific points of interest for genealogists and researchers tracking the settlement patterns of Dunn and Pepin counties.
