About this map

The settlement of Mather serves as the central hub of this Jackson County landscape, where Wisconsin's managed water systems define the geography. The region is dominated by an intricate network of reservoirs and flowages, including Kingston Flowage, Beaver Flowage, and Scott Flowage, which reflect the area's history of water management and wildlife habitat preservation. Higher ground is sparsely represented, most notably at Hog Island and near Cem Hill, providing a contrast to the surrounding wetlands and drainage basins.

Transport through this watery terrain is facilitated by Wi-173, which cuts a diagonal path toward the southeast, crossing the West Br Beaver Cr and other tributaries like Silver Cr. The presence of Juleane Reservoir and Hunters Peak Reservoir in the northwest corner highlights the engineered nature of the local hydrology. For researchers, this map clarifies the modern alignment of rural roads such as Otter Dr and Co Hwy-HH as they navigate around large standing bodies of water like Big Lake and Deer Lake.
