About this map

The Wisconsin River and the sprawling waters of Lake Du Bay dominate this landscape south of Knowlton, where the river's flow is regulated by the Dubay 2 WP 533 Dam. This 2010 topographic record captures the geography of Marathon County as the Little Eau Pleine River enters from the west, creating the complex wetlands of the Little Eau Pleine Flowage. The settlement of Dancy sits near the confluence of these waters, reflecting a community shaped by the river system.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Saint Francis Cemetery and Knowlton Cemetery situated near the main transit corridors. The map details a network of rural roads including Old Dancy Rd and Depot Rd, tracing the legacy of former rail and highway alignments that once connected these river towns. Large landforms like Big Island remain prominent features within the reservoir, illustrating the permanent change to the valley following the dam's construction.
