The boundary between Clark and Marathon counties bisects this 1981 survey, tracing the shared identity of Abbotsford and Colby. The landscape is defined by the Soo Line railroad and a grid of rural routes like Colonial Drive and Townhall Road, supporting a dairy-country economy of farmsteads and gravel pits. Community landmarks of the era include the Colby-Abbotsford Airport, a High School in both towns, and a Drive-in Theater situated along the main corridor. The topography is shaped by the headwaters of several drainages, including the North Fork Popple River and West Branch Big Eau Pleine River. Notable for genealogists are the Colby and Holton cemeteries, along with localized place names such as Mayville and Hull townships, which preserve the political and social geography of this central Wisconsin dairy region.
