2013 Map of Adams

About this map

The adjacent communities of Friendship and Adams anchor this central Wisconsin landscape, where the flat glacial plain is interrupted by prominent sandstone bluffs. These distinctive geological features, including Friendship Mound, Houghton Rock, Lighthouse Rock, and Rattlesnake Mound, serve as towering landmarks above the surrounding creek-cut terrain. The area's hydrology is defined by the east-to-west flow of Little Roche a Cri Cr, which feeds into Friendship Lake before continuing toward the Wisconsin River. Cultural development is concentrated along the North Main Street corridor, featuring the Adams County Legion Field Airport and the Mound View Golf Course. This survey captures the transition from the dense street grids of the settlements to the sprawling agricultural and marshy lands drained by Duck Cr and Fairbanks Cr to the south.
