About this map

The Yellow River flows through this Wood County landscape south of Marshfield, defining a region where glacial terrain meets organized rural settlement. The topography is marked by localized elevations like Cary Mound and several small water bodies including Lake Manakiki and Lake Kaunewinne. This 2018 survey reveals a well-established grid of local roads, such as Co Rd B and Co Hwy N, which connect family farms and rural homesteads.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of area burial grounds, including Trinity Cem, Richfield Cem, and Brook Lawn Memory Garden Cem. Several tributaries like Rocky Cr, Beaver Cr, and Puff Cr drain the surrounding fields, illustrating the intricate hydrography of the Central Wisconsin plains. The map reflects a modern rural economy still deeply tied to its hydrology and the ancestral plots marked by these country cemeteries.
