About this map

The Chippewa River carves a central path through this portion of Chippewa County, anchoring the settlement of Jim Falls. The landscape is a patchwork of agricultural operations and glacial water bodies, with named agricultural properties such as Hard Scrabble Farms, Harms Farms, and Zimbelman Farm defining the local land use. These family-named farms are interspersed among numerous lakes, including Cornell Lake, Old Abe Lake 4891, and Jim Lake.

Transportation in the early 21st century relies on a grid of rural avenues and county highways, with Wi-178 following the eastern bank of the river. The presence of smaller water features like Jim Cr and S Fork Bob Cr indicates a well-watered territory supporting both dairy and crop production. The map captures a moment of modern rural life where traditional farmsteads remain clearly demarcated against the natural hydrography of the region.
