About this map

Lake Poygan and the vast Poygan Marsh dominate the northeastern reaches of this landscape, where the waters of the Pine River and Pumpkinseed Creek merge into the shoreline. The terrain is characterized by a high concentration of wetlands and waterways, with Willow Creek winding eastward through the southern half of the quadrangle. This hydraulic network historically shaped the local economy and settlement patterns, evidenced by the Auroraville Millpond 80 at the village of Auroraville.

Smaller hamlets such as Borth and Fountain Valley are connected by a grid of rural roads that often follow property and section lines. For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites are documented across the area, including Pine Grove Cem near the western edge and Sheads Island Cem located on a rise near the marshes. The map also delineates the boundary between Waushara County and Winnebago County, providing a clear record of local jurisdictional lines in the late 2010s.
