Little Falls is a small place in Polk County, Wisconsin, United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and buildings that don't have their own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's part of a larger area called Alden.
Discovering Little Falls
Little Falls is a quiet spot in the beautiful state of Wisconsin. It's a place where people live and work, surrounded by nature. Even though it's small, it has its own unique features.
Where is Little Falls Located?
You can find Little Falls in the southwestern part of Polk County. It's about 3.6 miles (or 5.8 kilometers) southwest of a town called Amery. If you're looking at a map, it's right where two roads, County Highway C and County Highway PP, meet.
The Apple River's Journey
A special part of Little Falls is the Apple River. This river flows right through the community. Rivers are often important for communities because they provide water and can be used for fun activities.
Long ago, the Apple River in Little Falls had a dam. A dam is a barrier built across a river to hold back water. Today, County Road C crosses the river exactly where that old dam used to be. This shows how the landscape and how people use the river can change over time.
