About this map

Sheldon serves as the primary hub on this modern survey, situated where the Jump River meets the Little Jump River. The village layout is concentrated along Main St and Lacy St, reflecting a traditional rural settlement pattern that persists in this corner of Wisconsin. Further south, the smaller community of Donald remains a distinct point of interest for local historians, marked by the presence of the Donald Cem and its proximity to the Fisher River.

The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses and county roads that crisscross the Rusk, Taylor, and Chippewa county lines. Numerous creeks, including Alder Cr and Shoulder Cr, drain the surrounding landscape, which is navigated by a grid of rural routes such as Old 194 and Broken Arrow Rd. The placement of Woodlawn Cem near the rivers provides essential data for genealogists tracing families in the Sheldon area.
