About this map

Auburndale anchors the southwest corner of this central Wisconsin landscape where the transition between Marathon and Wood Counties is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and managed waters. The Little Eau Pleine River winds through the northern half of the sheet, feeding into an extensive system of flowages including the Smoky Hill Flowage and North Honey Island Flowage. These water bodies surround distinctive landforms such as Honey Island and Smoky Hill, creating a complex aquatic geography.

Land use patterns here reflect a mix of conservation and extraction, evidenced by the presence of a Soapstone Pit near Bear Creek. The small settlement of Rangeline sits amidst a grid of rural roads like Yellow Stone Rd and Becker Rd, showing the persistent agricultural and residential structure of the region. The northern edge is dominated by the reach of the Big Eau Pleine Reservoir, a significant regional feature that dictates the local drainage of smaller streams like Little Bear Cr.
