About this map

The Tomorrow River flows southward through this Central Wisconsin landscape, connecting the village of Nelsonville to the industrial legacy of the Amherst Millpond in Amherst. This watershed-focused survey details a region defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring numerous named water bodies like Lake Emily, Turtle Lake, and the spring-fed Lake Lime. The rail-and-road corridor through Amherst Junction highlights the area's historical role as a transportation node. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies several burial grounds, including the Saint Mary of Mount Carmel Cem and the Oak Grove Cem. The presence of the Spring Creek Reservoir and various ponds reflects the continued management of the local waterways that once powered the village mills.
