2010 Map of Fairchild

About this map

Fairchild and Humbird serve as the primary hubs in this western Wisconsin landscape, where the terrain is defined by the headwaters of Halls Creek and the East Fork Halls Creek. The region maintains a rural character dominated by a grid of county roads and family-named landmarks like the Cleveland Cemetery and Mentor Cemetery. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the Fairchild C4772 Dam creating Fairchild Pond and the Humbird Dam regulating Emerson Lake 10. Significant elevations such as Humbird Bluff and the site of the Twin Mound Lookout Tower provide orientation points above the creek valleys. The presence of the Stephen Landing Strip in the northwest suggests a reliance on small-scale aviation within this agricultural and timber-influenced corridor.
