About this map

The Wisconsin River Flowage bisects this Central Wisconsin landscape, creating a distinct water-bound boundary between the townships of Linwood and Plover. At the center of this hydro-electric and recreational corridor lies Pleasure Island, while the surrounding terrain is a mosaic of agricultural and industrial land use. To the south, specialized agriculture is evident at the Cranberry Bog, a hallmark of the region's economy.

Settlement patterns follow the established road and rail network, with the small community of Meehan situated along the Green Bay and Western rail line. The map records important genealogical landmarks including the Linwood Union Cem and the expansive Restlawn Memorial Park. Resource extraction is noted by a Quarry and Gravel Pit near the riverbanks, where tributary waters like Rocky Run and Bear Creek feed into the main flowage.
