About this map

Lake Wissota dominates this Wisconsin landscape, where the confluence of the Chippewa River and the Yellow River creates a sprawling reservoir northeast of Chippewa Falls. The map documents a blend of established residential areas and rural expansion, showing the eastern reaches of Lake Hallie and the smaller settlements of Bateman and Norma. For genealogists and local historians, several landmarks provide fixed points for research, including Home Park Cem and Bateman Cem near the eastern shore.

Transportation and infrastructure are central to the area's development, evidenced by the Wissota Airport and a dense network of numbered streets and avenues that service the lakeside properties. Waterways like Paint Creek, Stillson Creek, and Frederick Creek feed into the main reservoir, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of Chippewa County. The map also identifies local points of interest like T-Bo Field and Anson, highlighting the localized character of this mid-21st-century survey.
