The Middle Branch Portage River and its various tributaries, including Rocky Ford and Cuckle Creek, define the agricultural landscape of Wood County as it appeared in the late 1960s. This survey illustrates a rural region organized around small settlements like Jerry City and New Rochester, where life centered on local institutions such as Elmwood High Sch and St Pauls Ch. The drainage patterns provided by the river system supported the surrounding townships of Portage and Montgomery, while the western edge of the quadrangle shows the increasing influence of modern transportation with the path of Interstate 75.
