2015 Map of Dancy

About this map

The Wisconsin River and the expansive Lake Dubay dominate this central Wisconsin landscape, marking the transition where the waters of the Little Eau Pleine River and Peplin Creek converge. The settlement of Knowlton serves as a primary waypoint along the river, while the smaller community of Dancy sits further west near the Little Eau Pleine Flowage. This 2015 representation of the region illustrates a complex network of wetlands and backwaters, particularly around the prominently labeled Big Island. Local history is anchored by the presence of Saint Francis Cem and Knowlton Cem, which remain as fixed points of reference amidst the evolving shoreline and modern road developments like Co Rd DB and Redfield Rd. The map also clearly delineates the administrative boundary between Marathon and Portage counties, providing a clear look at how the river system defines the regional geography.
