2013 Map of Finley

About this map

The Yellow River and a complex system of drainage laterals define this marshy landscape of central Wisconsin. This 2013 survey illustrates an intricate network of waterways including the East Br Little Yellow River and Neal Lateral, which feed into major impoundments like the Sprague-Mather Flowage and Meadow Valley Flowage. Small settlements such as Finley and Sprague are situated along the eastern corridor of Wi-80, while Meadow Valley serves as a hub for outdoor recreation near Campground Number One and Campground Number Two. The map details a unique managed water system where features like Pool Number 27 4, Number Thirteen Pool, and 7 Reservoir suggest a land use deeply tied to water management and conservation. This hydrographic pattern reveals how the terrain has been engineered to control the flow across the low-lying Central Sand Plains.
