About this map

Necedah National Wildlife Refuge and the Meadow Valley State Wildlife Area dominate this Central Wisconsin landscape, where managed wetlands and flowages define the local geography. The complex water system includes the Rynearson Flowage No 1, Rynearson Flowage No 2, and the Suk and Cerney Flowage, all fed by the winding course of the Little Yellow River. These reservoirs and marshes are punctuated by several Observation Tower locations and the Wildlife Headquarters, reflecting the area's mid-century role as a massive conservation tract.

Transportation and small-scale settlement are concentrated in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The Chicago and North Western railroad corridor runs parallel to a primary east-west road through the small communities of Cutler and Cloverdale. Beyond these hubs, a grid of named rural routes like Bewick Road and Canfield Road provides access to the surrounding forest and marshlands, including the elevated terrain of Beaver Ridge.
