About this map

The Butternut village center and surrounding Northwoods townships of Peeksville and Agenda are depicted in this 1980s-era topographical study. The landscape is defined by the winding East Fork Chippewa River and a dense network of water bodies including Cycle Lake, Little Butternut Lake, and Parker Lake. The village itself is situated near the confluence of Butternut Creek and Smith Creek, featuring a local Cemetery and utility infrastructure like the Sew Disp Ponds.

Rural development is traced through family-named thoroughfares such as Rominski Road, Wadas Road, and Pociak Road, highlighting the agricultural and timber-linked heritage of Ashland County. Several Gravel Pit operations are scattered across the terrain, indicating the local extraction industry of the time. The presence of the Fourth Principal Meridian underscores the region's foundational surveying history in Northern Wisconsin.
