2018 Map of Hancock

About this map

Plainfield and Hancock anchor this Central Wisconsin landscape, where the agricultural plains of Waushara County meet a network of glacial hydrology. The terrain is defined by drainage and irrigation patterns, evidenced by the channelized Leola Ditch in the northwest and the winding course of Big Roche a Cri Cr further south. These waterways reflect the 20th-century transformation of the Central Sands region into a productive farming district. Smaller natural features like Goose Lake and Pine Lake offer a contrast to the geometric grid of county roads. Aviation is a visible part of the local economy and culture, with specialized facilities like Bucky's Airpark and the Runway Leasing Inc Number 1 Airport located near the main north-south transportation corridor. Local history is grounded at the Plainfield Cem, while the solitary Lone Rock provides a rare topographical landmark in this predominantly level expanse.
