About this map

Rock Falls and Caryville anchor the northern landscape of this region, situated where the Rock Cr flows toward the Chippewa River. The geography is defined by the transition from the low-lying Chippewa Bottoms to the rolling agricultural uplands divided by the borders of Dunn, Pepin, and Eau Claire Counties. A significant focal point for local history is the Rock Falls Millpond, a feature that speaks to the area's early water-powered industry.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several important burial sites, including Rock Creek Cem and East Pepin Cem. The map's detail provides a look at the rural road network, with corridors like Co Rd H and Co Hwy T connecting the scattered farms and stream crossings of Cranberry Cr and Little Rock Cr. This survey documents the persistent rural character and drainage patterns of the countryside south of the river.
