2018 Map of Blaine

About this map

Blaine stands as the central settlement in this portion of Portage County, situated amidst a dense concentration of glacial kettles and lakes. The landscape is defined by its numerous water bodies, ranging from Riley Lake and Boelter Lake in the north to East Lake in the south. The distribution of Buena Vista Cem, Hillside Cem, and Elmwood Cem suggests the historical centers of community and worship across this rural Wisconsin terrain. A network of county roads, including Co RD A and Co RD D, connects these points of interest, while natural drainage is managed through small waterways like Emmons Cr and Pearl Cr. This survey illustrates a post-glacial topography where small-scale farming and lakefront geography dictate the placement of roads and homesteads.
