About this map

Fairchild and Humbird anchor the landscape where the borders of Eau Claire, Jackson, and Clark counties converge. The terrain is defined by a network of small waterways, including McGavery Cr and Schoolhouse Cr in the north, while Halls Cr and its eastern fork drain the southern sections. This 2015 edition provides a contemporary record of these Wisconsin communities, showing the established grid of Fairchild and the smaller cluster of Humbird near the foot of Humbird Bluff.

Genealogists can identify key local landmarks such as Cleveland Cem and Mentor Cem, which serve as permanent records of the area's residents. The map illustrates a rural economy reliant on a dense network of county roads like Co Rd B and Co Road RR, connecting isolated farmsteads across the township lines. Emerson Lake sits just west of Humbird, providing a notable water feature in an otherwise stream-fed agricultural and timbered region.
