1984 Map of Babcock
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Cranberry cultivation defines the landscape of central Wood County in this 1984 study, where extensive Cranberry Bogs and specialized water management systems dominate the terrain east of Hemlock Creek. The area is a mosaic of wetlands and small airfields, including the Brazeau Landing Strip and Whittlesey Landing Strip, which likely served the local agricultural industry. The settlement of Babcock sits at the junction of the Yellow River and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, serving as a hub for the surrounding townships of Dexter and Remington. To the west, the Sandhill State Wildlife Area provides a contrast of preserved natural space against the highly engineered bogs. Local genealogists will find value in the location of the Babcock Cem and the various family-named routes such as Mc Keel Road and Batterman Road.
