1972 Map of Elk Creek Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Elk Mound sits atop the northern heights of this landscape, overlooking a complex network of waterways that define the borderlands between Dunn and Eau Claire counties. In the early 1970s, the meandering Chippewa River dominates the southern reaches, flanked by the Chippewa Bottoms and the small settlement of Caryville. The map illustrates a rural economy reliant on rail and river, with the Chicago and North Western railroad cutting through the north while the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific follows the river valley. For those tracing family histories, numerous burial grounds like St Joseph Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Spring Brook Cem are documented alongside local landmarks such as Amy Chapel and the Elk Creek State Public Fishing Area. The presence of several Gravel Pit locations and the sewage disposal site near the main town reflect the local infrastructure of the era.
