2015 Map of Big Eau Pleine Reservoir

About this map

The Big Eau Pleine Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this Central Wisconsin region, where the convergence of Wood, Marathon, and Portage counties creates a complex network of wetlands and managed waterways. High points like Maple Hill and Haumschild Hill rise above a series of distinct impoundments, including the Townline Reservoir, Fisher Flowage, and Teal Flowage. The drainage of the Little Eau Pleine River is clearly defined here, showing the intricate relationship between the reservoir system and the surrounding timber and marshlands. To the southeast, the quiet presence of Runkle Cem offers a grounded point for genealogical interest near the Marathon and Portage county line. This survey details the modern road network, from the rural stretches of Co Rd C to specialized access points like Eau Pleine Park Rd and Dam Rd, illustrating how the mid-century reservoir projects transformed the local topography into its current character.
