About this map

Lake Arbutus dominates the central landscape of this western Wisconsin survey, formed by the impoundment of the Black River. The settlement of Hatfield sits along the southwestern shore, serving as a focal point for the region's recreation and water management. Northward, the river channel meanders through complex wetlands and around French Island, where the East Fork Black River joins the main stem. This aquatic system is buffered by distinct terrain features like the prominent Levis Mound and the nearby Duck Hill.

Local history is preserved in several dedicated sites, including the Dells Dam Cem, Indian Cem, and Komensky Cem, which mark the era of early settlement and the area's indigenous heritage. The landscape is deeply influenced by its drainage patterns, with smaller tributaries like Wedges Creek and Mollies Cr feeding into the main river valley, while the presence of the Upper Backwater and Lower Backwater indicates the shifting hydrology of this river-centered community.
