About this map

The Chippewa River carves a winding path through this western Wisconsin landscape, defining the transition between the agricultural uplands and the river's complex floodplain. Along the northern bends, the settlement of Meridean sits near Meridean Slough and Happy Island, illustrating the historical importance of the river corridor for commerce and travel. The presence of the Chippewa River State Trl and Red Cedar State Trl highlights the modern repurposing of former transportation routes for recreational use, following the natural contours of the valley through the Upper Dunnville Bottoms.

Further south, the map reveals the rural character of the Dunn Co and Pepin Co border region, where small community markers such as Rock Creek Cem, Peru Cem, and Holy Rosary Cem remain as tangible links to early local families. The terrain shifts from the lowlands of Wallace Lake to the higher elevations of Prissel Valley, while the Hayes Road Airport provides a modern navigational landmark amidst the grids of county roads and creek drainages like Cranberry Cr and Duscham Cr.
