About this map

Castle Rock Lake dominates the eastern landscape of this Juneau County quadrangle, where the waters meet a complex network of wetlands and drainage systems. Just south of the village of Necedah, the terrain is defined by the winding course of the Little Yellow River and the artificial waterways of the Juneau County Ditch. These features point to a history of land reclamation and water management essential for the development of local agriculture and settlement in the central Wisconsin sand plains.

Genealogists and local researchers will find the community of Kelly and several historic burial sites, including Saint Francis of Assisi Cem and the Danish Cem. The southern edge of the sheet transitions into the protected wetlands of Vandercook Marsh, reflecting a landscape that balances human habitation with significant natural water features. The mix of rural road grids and large-scale hydrography illustrates the region's enduring relationship with the Wisconsin River basin.
