About this map

Falls City sits at the heart of this rural Dunn County landscape, where the agricultural uplands transition toward the wide floodplain of the Chippewa River. The southern edge of the map reveals a complex riverine environment featuring Chippewa Island, Happy Island, and the Meridean Slu, along with the wetlands of the Upper Dunnville Bottoms. This topography illustrates the historical reliance on these waterways for transport and the subsequent development of the surrounding farmland.

Genealogists will find this 2015 survey particularly valuable for its density of burial sites across several townships. Scattered among the section lines are numerous local landmarks including Saint John Cem, Iron Creek Cem, Froens Cem, and the Little Elk Creek Cem. The map provides a clear look at the rural road network, from Fall City Rd to Co Rd E, that has connected these isolated communities and family farms for generations.
