2013 Map of Strum

About this map

The Buffalo River corridor defines the geography of this Trempealeau and Eau Claire County region, winding between the villages of Strum and Eleva. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern layout of these river towns, where Strum Lake and Eleva Pond serve as central hydrologic landmarks. The landscape is characterized by prominent coulees and valleys typical of western Wisconsin, including the broad Tolleston Valley to the north and Berg Valley situated between the primary settlements. To the south, the distinctive landmark of Chimney Rock rises near the headwaters of Chimney Rock Cr, while a network of tributary streams such as Trout Cr and Big Cr feed into the river basin. The map reveals how local infrastructure, including the US-10 Mondovi-Osseo Rd W, has adapted to the winding river valley and the steep surrounding terrain.
