About this map

The lowlands of eastern Jackson County are defined by an intricate network of artificial impoundments and wetlands. In this 2015 study, the landscape is dominated by numerous managed water bodies such as Staffon Flowage, Dry Land Flowage, and the complex formed by Wilson Marsh Flowage and Lower Wilson Marsh Flowage. These features indicate a terrain heavily managed for water control and perhaps wildlife habitat or cranberry production, typical of the central Wisconsin sand plains.

Prominent landmarks rise above the wetlands, most notably Squaw Mound and its associated Squaw Mound Flowage. The drainage is further characterized by numerous small streams including Indian Grave Cr and Morrison Creek, which thread through the marshes. A grid of local roads like N Brockway Rd and Castle Mound Rd provides access to these remote reaches, while named features like Schwartz Pool and Oxbow Pond offer specific points of interest for local geography.
