2015 Map of Dewey Marsh

About this map

Dewey Marsh dominates the southern landscape of this central Wisconsin region, where the borders of Marathon and Portage counties meet. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of wetlands and drainage, anchored by the Little Eau Claire River and Hay Meadow Creek. The map reveals a transition from these low-lying marshlands to the north, where agriculture and rural settlement take hold near Rocky Corners and Ashley. An intriguing localized place name, Philippine Islands, appears within the marshy expanse, suggesting a unique piece of local nomenclature tied to the distinctive island-like patches of higher ground amidst the wetlands. Significant elevations like Blackberry Hill provide contrast to the surrounding water-rich environment, which is served by a grid of rural roads including Co Rd C and Sandy Creek Rd.
