About this map

Petenwell Lake dominates this central Wisconsin landscape, its sprawling waters defining the geography between Big Flats and the surrounding Adams County woodlands. Along the eastern shore, the settlement of New Rome serves as a focal point for local development, situated near the confluence where Fourteenmile Creek enters the lake. The shoreline is marked by distinctive terrain features such as Yellow Banks and Halls Point, which help orient those navigating the water.

Inland, the grid of forest roads and county highways, including Co HWY-G and Co HWY-Z, provides access to the region's timber resources. A notable landmark for fire protection and navigation is the Cranberry Rock Lookout Tower, positioned in the northwest corner of the map. Smaller water bodies like Twin Lakes offer a contrast to the massive reservoir, highlighting the intricate hydrology of the area as it appeared in the early 21st century.
