2022 Map of Babcock

About this map

Babcock and Cranmoor anchor this Wood County landscape, where the geography is defined by a extensive network of drainage and agricultural irrigation systems. The map reveals the specialized infrastructure of the region's cranberry industry, most notably at the Whittlesey Cranberry Co Airport and the surrounding marshy impoundments. This water-managed terrain is fed by Hemlock Creek and Cranberry Creek, which move through a grid of rural roads and section lines. To the north, the settlement of Dexterville sits near the upper reaches of these drainage basins. Genealogists will find the Babcock Cem located just north of the main village, while local aviators and historians may note smaller landmarks like Gottschalk Field. The road network, including Marathon Ave and Necedah Rd, provides a clear view of how these small communities are interconnected across the wetland-rich interior of Central Wisconsin.
