2010 Map of King

About this map

King and its complex network of interconnected glacial lakes define this portion of Waupaca County. The landscape is characterized by numerous small bodies of water, including the densely clustered Chain O' Lakes and larger features like Rainbow Lake and Taylor Lake. The community of King is notably home to the Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery and Edmunds Dock. To the south, the Crystal River winds toward the small settlements of Rural and Parfreyville. The geography here shows a transition from the water-rich resort and residential areas in the north to the more open agricultural lands surrounding Cobb Town and Crystal Lake Corners. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Badger Cemetery and the Indian Crossing Bridge, which spans the narrow channels connecting the northern lakes. Managed water levels are evident at the Hartman Creek Number One Dam, illustrating the long-standing engineering of this hydrologically active region.
