About this map

Bevent and the surrounding Marathon County landscape are defined by a complex network of wetlands and waterways, where the Plover River and the Little Eau Claire River wind through the eastern and central sections of the quadrangle. The settlement of Little Eau Claire sits near the intersection of several county roads, serving as a focal point for the rural agricultural and timber lands. These waters feed numerous small basins, including Bear Lake, Turtle Lake, and Fox Lake, which dominate the southeastern corner.

Genealogists and local historians will find several key landmarks preserved on this survey, including Our Saviors Cem, Peacefull Rest Cem, and the Saint Ladislaus Catholic Cem. The presence of the Plover River Airfield near Bevent highlights the integration of modern transportation within this traditional landscape. The northern reaches of Weston and Kronenwetter extend into the frame, showing the transition from more developed areas to the swampy terrain around Bull Junior Cr and Sampson Cr.
