About this map

The Chippewa River anchors this landscape, flowing through the heart of the region and forming the elongated Old Abe Lake. The settlement of Jim Falls sits at a strategic point along the eastern bank of the river, where the water is channeled and managed. The surrounding terrain is densely pocketed with small glacial lakes, including Cornell Lake, Popple Lake, and Jim Lake, which define the local drainage patterns and provide a distinct character to the rural township sections.

A network of local roads, such as Co HWY S and Co HWY Y, connects the scattered farmsteads and rural properties. Genealogists and local historians will find the Copp Cem located south of the river near Copp Rd. The map also details the smaller tributaries that feed the larger system, including Nell Creek and Jim Cr, illustrating the intricate water system that has long influenced the settlement and agriculture of Chippewa County.
