About this map

The Rush River corridor defines the rural landscape of Pierce County in this 2010 survey, winding southward through a region characterized by small crossroads settlements and agricultural persistence. The village of Martell sits as a central point along the river, flanked by multiple historic burial grounds including the Martell Lutheran Cemetery and Martell Methodist Cemetery. This area reflects the late 19th-century settlement patterns of Wisconsin, where small hubs like Centerville, Clay Corners, and Morton Corner served as the primary social and economic anchors for local farming families.

Water management is prominent on this sheet, evidenced by several small-scale engineering projects such as the Roger Swenson G-8498 Dam and the Thomas D H Sitz 636 Dam. These structures, along with the 0.7 Reservoir and 40 Reservoir, illustrate the modern adaptation of the Trimbelle River and Goose Creek watersheds. For those tracing regional genealogy, the dense concentration of cemeteries like Mount Olivet Cemetery and the South Rush River Cemetery provide a clear record of the communities that have inhabited these river valleys for generations.
