About this map

Petenwell Lake and Castle Rock Lake dominate the western edge of this central Wisconsin landscape, where the waters of the Wisconsin River meet the mouths of local tributaries. The settlement of Arkdale sits along the banks of Big Roche a Cri Creek, anchored by the small Arkdale Lake and a cluster of local landmarks including West Arkdale Cem and East Arkdale Cem. Further north, the community of Strongs Prairie and the Monroe Center area illustrate the traditional rural layout of Adams County.

Local history is preserved through a high density of small burial grounds that mark the heritage of these prairie townships, from the Edwardson Cem to the South Arkdale Cem. A grid of county roads and named avenues, such as Cottonville Ave and Chicago Ave, connects these scattered residential clusters and lakeside developments, reflecting the area's dual character as a site for both agriculture and water-based recreation.
