1969 Map of Cutler

About this map

The Little Yellow River and South Branch Yellow River define this central Wisconsin landscape, characterized by an extensive network of managed wetlands and conservation lands in the late 1960s. This survey documents the intersection of several major preserves, including the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge, Meadow Valley State Wildlife Area, and Kingston State Wildlife Area. The hydrology is heavily modified for wildlife management, featuring engineered bodies of water like Rynearson Pool No 1, Rynearson Pool No 2, and the Suk and Cerney Flowage. The small settlement of Cutler sits along the southern edge, positioned near the Chicago and North Western rail line and 22d Street. This map is particularly valuable for its detail on the refuge infrastructure, noting features such as the Wildlife Headquarters and an Observation Tower near Beaver Ridge.
