About this map

The Plover River and Little Eau Claire River anchor this central Wisconsin landscape, which is defined by a dense grid of rural routes and family-named roads. The settlement of Bevent serves as a local hub near the southern boundary, situated where the river system begins to widen into basins like Turtle Lake and Fox Lake. This area of Marathon County reflects a long-standing agricultural and timber-based layout, with numerous drainage features including Bull Junior Creek, Sampson Creek, and Johnson Creek feeding the larger river systems.

Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local landmarks such as Our Saviors Cemetery and Peacefull Rest Cemetery, located near the small community of Little Eau Claire. The road network is heavily influenced by local family names, including Tryba Rd, Dallman Rd, and Kristof Rd, providing a clear record of the area's residents and land ownership patterns at the start of the decade.
