About this map

The Wisconsin River Flowage dominates the center of this landscape, a significant water body created by the damming of the river that shapes the local industry and recreation. Along its banks, Pleasure Island sits near the Biron corporate boundary, reflecting the area's development around the water's edge. To the south, specialized agricultural land use is evident at the Cranberry Bog, a hallmark of central Wisconsin's unique wetland farming economy.

Further east, the small settlement of Meehan is situated near the intersection of Meehan Drive and Western Drive. The map provides specific locations for local heritage sites like the Linwood Union Cem and various industrial features such as a Quarry and Gravel Pit. The political geography is clearly defined by the Wood Co Portage Co line, which divides the township lands of Linwood and Rudolph from Plover and Grand Rapids.
