About this map

The settlement of Babcock and the surrounding marshy lowlands of Wood County define this 2013 survey. The landscape is deeply tied to the regional cranberry industry, as evidenced by the namesake Cranberry Creek and specialized facilities like the Whittlesey Cranberry Co Airport and Gottschalk Field Airport. These small airfields highlight the modern logistical needs of the area's agricultural operations.

Water management is central to the terrain, with the Yellow River and Hemlock Creek meandering through the western portion of the quadrangle. A network of rural routes, including Lonesome Rd, Creamery Rd, and Range Line Rd, connects isolated homesteads and fields. The community of Cranmoor sits further east along Wi-173, serving as a waypoint in this sparsely populated but industrially active wetland environment.
