2022 Map of City Point

About this map

The settlement of City Point serves as the focal point for this landscape where central Wisconsin's marshlands meet the East Fork Black River. Defined by an intricate network of drainage systems like Weisner Ditch, Bissig Ditch, and Remington Ditch, the area illustrates a long history of water management to support local land use across the Jackson and Wood County line. Several distinct landforms rise above the surrounding wetlands, including Birch Bluff, Bear Bluff, and the oddly named Ketchum Island. Genealogists will find interest in the proximity of the City Point Cemetery and City Point Catholic Cemetery, both situated near the riverbanks. The local infrastructure, characterized by roads like Birch Bluff Trail and Stout Marsh Road, suggests a terrain shaped by logging or cranberry cultivation, while the varied hydrography of Indian Creek and Hay Creek underscores the region's complex riparian environment.
