2013 Map of Simes Creek

About this map

Hamilton Falls serves as a central landmark in this drainage basin where the North Fork Eau Claire River winds through the rural landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Simes Cr, Beeman Cr, and Swim Cr, reflecting a terrain shaped by persistent watercourses. The transportation network is primarily composed of county highways and local routes like Hamilton Falls Rd and Co Hwy-H, which connect the scattered homesteads and woodlots. In the southwestern portion of the map, the Wilson Lookout Tower stands near the headwaters of Shambaugh Cr, a reminder of the region's managed forests. This survey captures a specific moment in the early 21st century before modern development significantly altered the rural character of this northern Wisconsin landscape.
