About this map

The Eldorado State Wildlife Area dominates this portion of Fond du Lac County, preserving a sprawling wetland complex where the West Branch Fond du Lac River meanders toward the southeast. This 1990s revision illustrates the intersection of conservation and agriculture, with numerous drainage ditches and smaller waterways like Sevenmile Creek and Van Dyne Creek defining the rural landscape. The settlement of Eldorado sits at the western edge of the marsh, while Woodhull serves as a southern anchor point along the road network.

Local history is preserved in small details, such as the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the eastern wetlands and several family-named burial sites including Estabrooks Cem and Anderson Cem. The presence of a Lending Strip and the Mobile Home Park near the eastern boundary reflects the evolving land use of the late twentieth century, contrasting with the traditional farmsteads and rural crossroads that have long defined the township of Lamartine.
