About this map

Lake Du Bay dominates the central landscape of this 1970 survey, where the Wisconsin River meets the Little Eau Claire River and the Little Eau Pleine Flowage. The settlement of Knowlton serves as a local hub near the water, supported by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad and a network of rural roads like Old Road and School Road. To the south, the village of Dancy sits at the junction of the railroad and the Big Eau Pleine River.

The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and Quarries indicates the importance of local material extraction for the region's development. Cultural centers are clearly marked, including St Francis Ch and St Johns Ch, alongside the Knowlton Sch and the community Townhall. Land use varies from organized recreation at Wayside Park and various campgrounds to the specialized agriculture of a Cranberry Bog near the southern boundary.
