About this map

The Eau Claire River defines the central geography of this Chippewa Valley landscape, flowing past Big Falls and the County Youth Camp as it moves toward the city of Eau Claire. In the early 1970s, the village of Fall Creek served as a local hub for the surrounding agricultural townships of Washington, Lincoln, and Seymour. The village is centered on the Chicago and North Western rail line, with landmarks like the Water Tank, Sewage Disposal plant, and Trinity Cem marking its perimeter.

Rural life is anchored by family-named roads and community institutions such as St Bridgets Ch, the nearby St Bridgets Cem, and Seymour Central Sch. Several smaller waterways, including Pumpkin Valley Creek and Sevenmile Creek, drain the uplands where local industry is represented by a Shale Pit and various gravel pits. The small settlement of Zich appears in the southwestern corner, connected by Dewitz Road to the broader regional network.
