About this map

Stone extraction and woodlots define the rural character of this Marathon County landscape, where the southern reaches are dominated by the waters of the Big Eau Pleine Reservoir. The small settlement of Halder serves as a local focal point, home to St Patricks Ch and an adjacent Cem, reflecting the community's early social fabric. Numerous Quarries and scattered Quarry sites are mapped throughout the townships of Cassel, Marathon, Emmet, and Mosinee, indicating a long-standing local industry focused on the region's geological resources.

Waterways like Hog Creek, Freeman Creek, and Fourmile Creek snake through a mix of marshy lowlands and forested sections. Recreational development is evident at the Big Eau Pleine County Park, which includes a Picnic Area near the reservoir's edge. The road network, featuring names like Burma Road and Sugar Bush Road, connects the crossroads of Moon to the broader agricultural and industrial landscape of central Wisconsin.
