About this map

Bancroft and West Bancroft serve as the primary hubs of this central Wisconsin landscape, situated along a prominent north-south rail and highway corridor. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, featuring numbered waterways such as Ditch Number Three, Ditch Number Five, and Ditch Number Ten that cross the low-lying plains. This engineering effort transformed the wetlands into productive lands, leaving a distinct grid pattern of roads like Townline Rd, Taft Ave, and Meyers Ln.

Elevated landmarks provide relief from the flat drainage basins, most notably The Ledge and the distinct peak of Mosquito Bluff to the southeast. Genealogists will find the Pine Grove Cem located near these heights. The map also captures smaller rural locales such as Coddington in the north and Lone Rock in the southwest, connected by a web of local routes including Prairie Chicken Rd and Saddle Sore Ln.
