About this map

The East Fork Black River cuts a winding path through this central Wisconsin landscape, defining the transition between the Washburn and City Point regions. Surveyed in 1969 and updated in the mid-1980s, the map reveals a terrain heavily shaped by water and low-lying wetlands, including the expansive Ammundson Marsh and a notable Cranberry Bog near the southern boundary. Small-scale industrial activity is evident in the scattered Gravel Pits and a Sandpit, likely supporting local road infrastructure during this era.

The settlement of Pray sits near the western edge, providing a focal point for researchers interested in the rural development of Clark and Jackson Counties. Water management and recreation are central to the area's character, seen in the impounded waters of Washwood Pond and the Sherwood Lakes, the latter featuring an adjacent County Park. Elevated features like Brushy Ridge break the low-lying drainage patterns of Hay Meadow Creek and Rock Creek.
