About this map

The Mecan River meanders through the central and southern reaches of this landscape, anchoring the settlement of Germania and its namesake Germania 2wp1344 Dam. This region of Marquette County is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring numerous water bodies such as Tuttle Lake, Crystal Lake, and Silver Lake. Small rural communities and crossroad settlements like Dakota and Budsin serve as local anchors for the surrounding farmstead network.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including the Saint Paul Lutheran Cemetery, Emmanuel Evangelical Crystal Lake Cemetery, Saint Johns Lutheran Cemetery, and the Matz-Tagatz Cemetery. The map also details the tributary system feeding the main river, with Lunch Creek, Chaffee Creek, and Little Pine Creek cutting through the terrain. Notable landmarks like Stone Hill and the Lang G 781.4 Dam provide clear points of reference for those studying the physical development and land use of this central Wisconsin area.
