2013 Map of Clarks Mills

About this map

Dairy farming dominates the landscape in this 21st-century agricultural region west of Lake Michigan. The Manitowoc River carves a winding path through the northern half of the map, passing the settlement of Clarks Mills. The area's deep-rooted agricultural identity is evidenced by numerous named operations such as Hyland Dairy, Pine River Dairy, and the Triple Maple Dairy. These dairy farms and family lands, including the Vogel Family Farms and Sperber Elk Farms, are interspersed with small lakes like English Lake and Vetting Lake. Small crossroads communities such as Madsen, Rube, and Newtonburg provide local focal points along a grid of rural roads and the primary corridor of Us-151. This map reflects the continued importance of specialized family-run farming and dairy production in rural Wisconsin during the early 2010s.
