About this map

The Jump River and its various tributaries define the landscape of this region where Rusk, Chippewa, and Taylor Counties meet. The village of Sheldon serves as the local hub, established along a grid that includes Railroad Ave and Lacy St. To the south, the smaller community of Donald is situated near the Donald Cem and the banks of the Fisher River.

A network of local routes like Broken Arrow Rd, Kangaroo Rd, and Swamp Rd connects the dispersed farmsteads and rural properties. The prevalence of named creeks, including Shoulder Cr and Alder Cr, alongside the meandering Little Jump River, indicates a terrain shaped by heavy drainage. Genealogists can find specific burial sites at both Woodlawn Cem near Sheldon and the cemetery in Donald, while the PLSS sections help trace property boundaries across townships like t33n r5w.
