1. ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES INFORMATION Introduction The County Setting Clark County is located in central Wisconsin (see Map 1.1 below). With 1,215 square miles of surface area, Clark County is the seventh largest county in the State of Wisconsin. The County is bordered to the west by Chippewa and Eau Claire counties, to the south and west by Jackson County, to the east by Wood and Marathon counties, and to the north by Taylor County. Clark County had a 2008 population estimate of 34,589 which is a 3.1 percent increase since 2000. Clark County is comprised of all or parts of 46 civil divisions, consisting of 33 towns, five villages and eight cities. The City of Neillsville, with an estimated population of 2,648, is the Map 1.1 - Clark County Locational Map largest community is Clark County and also the county seat. Three villages (Dorchester, Granton and Unity) and three cities (Abbotsford, Colby, and Stanley) have portions of their municipality within an adjacent county. Generally, the topography of Clark County is gently rolling, becoming increasingly more rugged and hilly in the southwestern portion of the County where the most recent glacial activity had not eroded away the sandstone. Prime farm soils dominate the northeast and east central portions of Clark County, while forest, wetlands, and other undeveloped uses dominate the more poorly drained soils in the western and southern parts of the County.
