2018 Map of Edgar

About this map

Edgar serves as the primary hub in this central Wisconsin landscape, where the grid of agricultural roads meets the winding course of the Big Rib River. To the north, the settlement of Poniatowski and the historic Rib Falls area reveal the enduring footprint of early European immigrant communities. These roots are preserved at sites like Holy Trinity Cem and the Telsmer Pioneer Cem, which provide tangible connections for genealogists researching the area's earliest families. The terrain is defined by its water systems, notably Pet Brook and the drainage of Scotch Cr and Soda Cr, which historically influenced the placement of farms and timber operations. The intricate road network, including corridors like Co RD U and Co RD H, illustrates the evolution of rural connectivity in Marathon County.
