2010 Map of Eau Claire West

About this map

The Chippewa River winds through the heart of this Wisconsin landscape, anchoring the development of Eau Claire and its surrounding neighborhoods. Along the river's eastern banks, the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire Campus and Putnam Heights represent the city's modern educational and residential footprint, while the Dells Dam and Dells 1907C35 Dam mark the engineered control of the waterway. West of the river, the terrain rises toward Mount Washington and Mount Simon, overlooking established communities like Shawtown and Union. Recreation and local history intersect at sites such as the Silver Mine Hill Ski Jump and Half Moon Beach on Halfmoon Lake. The map also captures several traditional burial grounds, including McCombs Cemetery, Lakeview Cemetery, and Brunswick Cemetery, providing vital landmarks for genealogical research near the Lufkin and Truax areas.
