About this map

Falls City sits near the eastern edge of this landscape, where the agricultural uplands of Dunn County meet the intricate wetlands and braided channels of the southern river systems. The map is heavily marked by small community burial grounds that anchor the rural sections, including Saint Johns Lutheran Cem, Iron Creek Cem, and Froens Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for tracing early families in the region.

The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the wide corridor of the Chippewa River, where shifting waters have created distinct landforms like Chippewa Island and Brush Island. Near Upper Dunnville Bottoms, the terrain transitions into a complex network of sloughs and creeks, such as Meridean Slough and Muddy Cr, illustrating the dynamic nature of the river valley before it reaches the Mississippi. This area reflects a quiet rural era where local life was defined by the stream crossings and the proximity to the water.
