About this map

The Eau Claire River and its East Fork define this Wisconsin landscape along the border of Chippewa and Eau Claire counties. In the northern reaches of the map, the small settlement of Ludington is situated near the Bethlehem Cemetery and Ludington Cemetery, marking a localized pocket of development amid a dense network of watercourses. The hydrology here is complex, with numerous tributaries such as Wildcat Creek, Beaver Creek, and Alder Creek feeding into the larger river systems.

In the southeast, the terrain opens into Lake Eau Claire, a major reservoir formed by the damming of the river. The surrounding grid of rural roads, including County Highway XX and County Highway N, provides access to the scattered homes and recreational areas near the shoreline. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural and timbered uplands drained by Rush Creek and Sand Creek to the established water-based geography of the river valley.
