About this map

Petenwell Lake dominates this central Wisconsin landscape, illustrating how the Wisconsin River was harnessed for power and recreation by the early 21st century. The map captures the interface between Adams and Juneau counties, where the sprawling reservoir meets the sandy terrain of Yellow Banks. The settlement of New Rome sits near the confluence where Fourteenmile Creek enters the lake, serving as a focal point for the surrounding residential developments.

Genealogists and local historians can locate Greenwood Cem tucked north of the reservoir's fingers, while property researchers will find a dense network of local roads such as Halls Point Rd and Bighorn Ave. The map reflects a landscape transformed by mid-century hydro-development, where former river bottoms have become wide bays like Barnum Bay, shaping the modern layout of these lakeside communities.
