About this map

The Chippewa River carves a sweeping path through this portion of Chippewa County, defining the local landscape as it feeds into Old Abe Lake near the settlement of Jim Falls. This 2018 survey illustrates a region defined by its glacial hydrology, with a dense cluster of kettle lakes and tributaries dotting the northern half of the quadrangle. Significant water bodies like Cornell Lake, Popple Lake, and Howe Lake are interconnected by smaller systems such as Jim Cr and the north and south forks of Bob Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Copp Cem located near the intersection of Copp Rd and 120th St, south of the river bend. The map also details a network of rural routes, including Co Hwy Y and Co Hwy S S, which link the various lakeside areas. The transition from the more open southern river valley to the lake-studded northern terrain reflects the distinct geological and ecological zones typical of western Wisconsin.
