About this map

Bancroft and West Bancroft serve as the primary hubs in this central Wisconsin landscape, which is heavily defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure. This hydraulic engineering is visible through numerous named channels such as Ditch Number Eight, Ditch Number Ten, and Ditch Number Three, which crisscross the terrain to manage the local water table. These artificial waterways feed into natural systems like the N Br Tenmile Cr and S Br Tenmile Cr to the south.

Genealogists and local historians can locate Pine Grove Cem near the eastern boundary, situated just north of the prominent Mosquito Bluff. Other notable landmarks include the rocky outcrop of The Ledge and the small settlement of Coddington to the north. The road network, including the uniquely named Prairie Chicken Rd and Saddle Sore Ln, reflects the rural agricultural character of Portage County during the mid-2010s.
