About this map

The Falls City settlement serves as the focal point of this rural Dunn County landscape, situated where Muddy Creek meets the Falls City Dam. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Chippewa River along the southern border, featuring large riparian landforms such as Chippewa Island and Happy Island. Away from the river, the area is partitioned by an extensive grid of township roads and county highways that connect scattered agricultural homesteads and local landmarks.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, including Iron Creek Cemetery, Saint John Cemetery, and the Forest Center Cemetery. These sites, along with Little Elk Creek Cemetery and Froens Cemetery, provide a clear record of the area's early families. The drainage patterns of Iron Creek and Little Elk Creek further shape the distribution of these rural communities and their historic gathering places.
