2013 Map of Bevent

About this map

Bevent and Little Eau Claire serve as the primary human hubs in this eastern Marathon County landscape, where the Plover River and Little Eau Claire River snake through a patchwork of agricultural plots and woodland. The map reveals a rural economy centered on a dense network of county roads and local lanes, many named for local families such as Kellner Rd, Dallman Rd, and Kristof Rd. A notable modern landmark is the Plover River Airfield, situated south of Wi-153 near the river's bend. The terrain is further defined by glacial hydrology, with Bear Lake, Turtle Lake, and Fox Lake dotting the southeastern corner, while smaller tributaries like Bull Junior Cr and Pike Lake Cr drain the surrounding basins. This survey offers a clear view of the transition between the managed timber and farm tracts of central Wisconsin in the early 21st century.
