About this map

Mather sits at the convergence of three counties in central Wisconsin, serving as a hub for the intricate network of wetlands and flowages that define the area. The landscape is dominated by complex water management systems, including the Portion of Meadow Valley Flowage, Beaver Flowage, and Kingston Flowage. These reservoirs and lakes, such as Big Lake and Deer Lake, illustrate the region's long history with cranberry cultivation and wildlife conservation.

Tracing the sandy roads through the marshes reveals local landmarks like Cemetery Hill and Hog Island, along with burial sites like Oak Grove Cem and Pine Grove Cem near Norway Ridge. The map documents the rural infrastructure of Jackson, Juneau, and Monroe Counties, where drainage and water control remain central to the local economy and geography. The pattern of roads like Cranberry Rd and Beaver Creek Rd reflects a landscape primarily dedicated to resource management and rural settlement.
