About this map

Leola Marsh State Wildlife Area and the Big Roche a Cri State Fishery Area anchor this landscape, highlighting a region dedicated to conservation and water management. Located at the intersection of Adams, Portage, and Wood counties, the area is defined by its drainage networks, including Spring Branch and Fourteenmile Creek. A grid of rural avenues like Akron Drive and Apache Avenue connects the dispersed settlements of Rome, Leola, and Big Flats.

Distinctive geological formations such as Owens Rock and Keystone Rock rise above the marshy surroundings, serving as natural landmarks. Local history is preserved in sites like Holliday Cem and Coloma-Leola Cem, while industrial activity is represented by a Quarry. The map reflects a mid-20th-century transition toward state-managed conservation lands, with numerous wells and field lines indicating the agricultural footprint of the era.
