2018 Map of Elk Creek Lake

About this map

Chippewa River frontage and the low-lying Chippewa Bottoms anchor the southern reaches of this landscape where Dunn Co, Eau Claire Co, and Chippewa Co meet. The terrain transitions from the wide river valley and Brush Island to the higher elevations surrounding the village of Elk Mound in the north. This area is notably dense with small rural burial grounds, including Saint Joseph Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Waneka Cem, providing significant touchpoints for genealogical research. The local hydrology is defined by the winding course of Elk Cr and Old Elk Lake, which sits tucked between local routes like Co Rd E. In the south, the settlement of Caryville is positioned near the riverbanks, while smaller water bodies like Sneen Lake and Powell Lake dot the wetlands and agricultural fields that characterize this portion of Western Wisconsin.
