About this map

The Eau Claire River defines the southern landscape of this 1970s survey, pooling into the expansive Lake Eau Claire. This reservoir is a focal point for the region, bordered by the Lake Eau Claire County Park and featuring multiple boat ramps for local recreation. The surrounding terrain is a network of small watercourses including Muskrat Creek, Darrow Creek, and Hay Creek, which flows past the Hay Creek Wayside Park.

Cultural landmarks are concentrated around the small settlements of Ludington and Wilson. Genealogists may find value in the Ludington Cem or local congregations like the Full Gospel Mission, Wilson Chapel, and St Peter Ch. The map also captures the era's recreational infrastructure, specifically a designated Snowmobile Trail cutting through the town of Bridge Creek. Further north, several Gravel Pits and a Sandpit indicate the local extractive industry during this period of development.
