2018 Map of Babcock

About this map

Cranberry marshes and flatland drainage networks dominate this central Wisconsin landscape, illustrating the specialized agricultural industry of Wood County. The settlement of Cranmoor is surrounded by an intricate system of rectangular water impoundments and ditches, including those feeding into Cranberry Cr. To the west, the Yellow River flows south toward the village of Babcock, where the Babcock Cem and several local thoroughfares like Marathon Ave mark the community's footprint. The proximity of the Whittlesey-Cranberry Co Airport and Gottschalk Field underscores the utility of aviation in managing these expansive commercial marshlands. Northward, the small settlement of Dexterville sits near the upper reaches of the river, while rural roads such as Lonesome Rd and Batterman Rd delineate the section lines of this largely aqueous terrain.
