About this map

Butternut sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the grid of the town meets the winding course of Butternut Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates a region defined by its hydrography and rural infrastructure, with the East Fork Chippewa River meandering across the northern reaches. The area is dotted with small, distinctive water bodies such as Cycle Lake, Lindbergh Lake, and Blueberry Lake, which are interconnected by a network of local names and fire lanes.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of Union Cemetery north of the main settlement. The map documents the persistent rural character of the county through its named roads and lanes, including Masterson Fire Ln and Creamery Rd, which hint at the agricultural and forestry activities that have long shaped this part of Wisconsin. The presence of Little Butternut Lake and Parker Lake further emphasizes the glacial topography that characterizes the region's drainage patterns.
