About this map

The city of Medford serves as the focal point of this Northwoods landscape, where the Black River and its various branches create a complex drainage system across central Wisconsin. In the northern reaches, the Chequamegon National Forest encompasses several distinctive glacial water bodies, including Bullhead Lake, Laher Lake, and McNamar Lake. These lakes, situated near Clarke Lake, highlight the area's geological character formed by retreating glaciers.

Further south, the small community of Whittlesey is defined by its local institutions, notably the Whittlesey Catholic Cem and Whittlesey Lutheran Cem. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds near the city center, such as the Holy Rosary Cem and New Evergreen Cem. The grid of rural roads, including Horseshoe Lake Ave and Alfalfa Ave, reflects the region's agricultural layout during this mid-2010s period.
