About this map

Big Roche a Cri Creek and its winding tributaries define this central Wisconsin landscape in the late 1960s, a region characterized by extensive wetlands and low-lying marshes. The townships of Big Flats, Colburn, Preston, and Richfield intersect here, revealing a rural network of named avenues and lanes that partition the landscape into a distinct grid.

A notable landmark of geological and cultural interest is Ship Rock, situated within the Ship Rock Wayside Park along the southern edge of the quadrangle. For those researching local heritage, the inclusion of the Indian Cem provides a specific point of historical interest amidst the interconnected waters of Carter Creek and Bingham Creek. The abundance of wells and benchmark markers across the marshy terrain suggests a landscape where water management and precise surveying were essential for settlement in these wetlands.
