About this map

Almond sits at the southern edge of this Central Wisconsin landscape, where a dense network of county highways and local roads connects small rural settlements. The area's social history is recorded in its numerous burial grounds, ranging from the Lone Pine Cemetery north of West Almond to the East German Cemetery near the main townsite. This distribution of sites like Saint Johns Cemetery and Spiritland Cemetery suggests a legacy of distinct immigrant communities and localized family plots common to Portage County's development.

The topography is punctuated by several kettle lakes and waterways, including Patterson Lake and Washburn Lake, which dot the northern and southern reaches. To the north, the settlement of Keene is situated near Fourmile Creek, while recreational spaces like Swan Field indicate the ongoing community life of the region. The grid of roads, such as County Hwy-BB and County Hwy-J, reveals a landscape thoroughly organized for agriculture and local commerce.
