According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 40.9 square miles (105.9 km²), of which, 40.4 square miles (104.5 km²) of it is land and 0.5 square miles (1.4 km²) of it (1.30%) is water.

Most of Chelsea is hilly, with small glacial lakes. It lies within the Perkinstown terminal moraine, which is described under Taylor County.

History

The six by seven mile square that would become Chelsea was first surveyed in 1861 by a crew working for the U.S. government. Then in April of 1862 another crew marked all the section corners in the township, walking through the woods and swamps, measuring with chain and compass.[3][4] When done, the deputy surveyor filed this general description:

The Surface of this Township is generally rolling and considerably Swampy. Timber principally Hemlock mixed with Birch Sugar Spruce (?) Tamarac Cedar and White Pine. It is watered by numerous Small Streams which unite and form two of considerable size one running in a Southerly direction and and the other running NW and becoming a tributary of Chipewa river. The Township on the whole would not be very well adapted to agricultural purposes. [5]

In 1933 much of the northwest quarter of Chelsea was designated part of the Chequamegon National Forest[6]
