About this map

The glacial kettle lakes of central Wisconsin define the landscape in this late 1960s survey, dominated by a dense chain of water bodies including Rainbow Lake, Sunset Lake, and Columbia Lake. These interconnected waters surround Government Island and Onaway Island, creating a complex shoreline that supported early recreation and religious retreats such as the Blessed Sacrament of Fathers Sch and the Waupaca Boys Camp. Near the western edge, the newly established Hartman Creek State Park preserves the moraine terrain around Marl Lake and Pope Lake.

Away from the water, the map reveals a rural community anchored by small crossroads and family landmarks. Small settlements like Cobb Town, Parfreyville, and Crystal Lake Corners are linked by a grid of local routes like Golke Road and Dayton Road. Longstanding community life is evidenced by the Badger Ch and Badger Cem in the northwest, while the southeastern corner is dotted with smaller isolated basins like Jenson Lake and Newsome Lake.
