1970 Map of City Point

About this map

City Point serves as the primary hub in this central Wisconsin landscape, situated along the Green Bay and Western RR. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and hydraulic engineering, where numerous Cranberry Bogs are supported by drainage features such as Bissig Ditch, North Floater Ditch, and Remington Ditch. To the north, the East Fork Black River and its tributaries like Ludwig Creek wind through the marshy bottomlands, punctuated by elevated landforms such as Van Tassel Island. Significant portions of the quadrangle are dedicated to conservation and forestry, including the Wood County Wildlife Area and Wood County Forest. Genealogists will find the Martyrs Cem and City Point Cem near the town center, while local history is reflected in the numerous sandpits and gravel pits that suggest a history of resource extraction alongside the region's agricultural and wildlife management activities.
