About this map

The Yellow River cuts a winding path through this central Wisconsin landscape, anchoring the village of Gilman near its banks. This 2010 survey illustrates a region defined by managed waterways and agricultural grid lines, with the G12.575 Dam creating several distinct reservoirs including Witt Flowage, Sotak Flowage, and a series of numerically designated pools like Flowage Number Three. These water management features suggest the importance of local drainage and recreation in this part of Taylor County.

Further south, the small community of Polley sits at the intersection of County Hwy-B and Polley Ln. Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks preserved on this sheet, including the Hannibal Cemetery in the north and the neighboring Meadowbrook Lutheran Cemetery and Meadowbrook Catholic Cemetery south of the river. The terrain is further etched by numerous tributaries such as Elder Creek, Babit Creek, and Hay Creek, which drain the surrounding woodlots and fields.
