1979 Map of Simes Creek

About this map

The North Fork Eau Claire River winds through this rural landscape at the intersection of Chippewa, Eau Claire, and Clark counties. This 1970s survey captures a transition between the northern forested reaches of the Blue Swamp and the agricultural parcels of Wilson and Butler townships. Significant water features like Hamilton Falls and the Simes Creek Flowage define the local topography, while the Simes Creek Flowage Trail and Hamilton Falls Snowmobile Trail point to the area's established recreational use. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by a Sandpit and Gravel Pit, supporting the local infrastructure. Local community landmarks include the Pleasant Valley Ch and Township Memorial Park, while the Wilson Lookout Tower stands as a prominent navigational point in the southwestern quadrant.
