2022 Map of Dancy

About this map

Knowlton and Dancy anchor this central Wisconsin landscape at the convergence of several major waterways. The dominant feature is Lake Dubay, an impoundment of the Wisconsin River that also receives the waters of the Big Eau Pleine River and the Little Eau Pleine River. This complex aquatic system creates a network of marshes and lowlands, most notably around Big Island in the northwest. Local history is preserved at several points of interest near the settlement of Knowlton, including Saint John the Baptist Cem, Knowlton Cem, and the Saint Francis Xavier Cem Old. The map documents a rural transition zone where Marathon and Portage counties meet, showing a grid of local roads like Old Dancy Rd and School Rd that connect family farms and shoreline developments to the primary regional transit corridors.
