About this map

The George W Mead State Wildlife Management Area dominates this central Wisconsin landscape, where the Little Eau Pleine River and Big Eau Pleine River define the local hydrology. During this 1970 survey, the area is characterized by an extensive system of flowages and lakes, including Fisher Flowage, Teal Flowage, and South Rice Lake. These water bodies were crucial to the management of local wetlands and wildlife habitats.

Local landmarks such as Smoky Hill and Honey Island rise above the marshy terrain, providing topographic variation. For those researching family history in the area, the map includes the Cem Grace Ch and small settlements like Rangeline and Auburndale. The southern portion of the sheet shows industrial and municipal developments, from the Soapstone Pit to the Sewage Disposal Ponds, reflecting the land use patterns along the Marathon Co Wood Co line.
