2022 Map of Simes Creek

About this map

Hamilton Falls and the surrounding wetland landscape of the North Fork Eau Claire River define this region of western Wisconsin. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including the Wolf River, Simes Creek, and the extensive Blue Swamp. This map highlights a transition where the boundaries of Chippewa, Eau Claire, and Clark counties converge, showing a landscape managed for both timber and recreation. A specialized system of forest routes like Middle Butler Forest Rd Ln and the Simes Creek Flowage Trl provides access to the interior wetlands and tributaries. The map also traces smaller drainages such as Shambaugh Creek and Beeman Creek, which contribute to the larger Eau Claire River system, illustrating the hydrology of this forested river corridor.
