2022 Map of Arpin

About this map

Arpin and the nearby community of Bethel anchor this portion of Wood County, where the landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage of the N Fork Hemlock Cr and Hemlock Cr. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by the high concentration of small, family, or denominational burial grounds. These include the uniquely named John Na Wee Cem and Indian Bill Cem located south of Bethel, alongside larger sites like Arpin Cem and the Emmanuel Lutheran Cem. To the north, the village of Auburndale sits near Mill Cr, marking a transition toward different water systems. The map illustrates a grid-heavy road network following township and range lines, such as Arpin Richfield Rd and Richfield Dr, which connect the scattered agricultural holdings and small creek crossings that have sustained this region for generations.
