About this map

The Chippewa River carves a deep path through the heart of the west side of Eau Claire, where the industrial and residential development of the city meets the more rural reaches of the county line. This survey shows the urban transition from the established neighborhood of Shawtown to the newer reaches near Mt Washington. The river's influence is clear in the local geography, forming Dells Pond to the north and the distinctive oxbow of Half Moon Beach.

Away from the central river corridor, the landscape opens into the rolling territory of Truax and south toward Lufkin. Significant local landmarks for researchers include Lakeview Cem and McCombs Cem, which offer connection to the area's ancestral history. The map also documents the infrastructure of the late 2010s, including Pritchard Field and the many residential streets branching off W Claremont Ave, providing a precise look at the modern suburban and industrial footprint of the city.
