2022 Map of Milan

About this map

The settlement of Milan and the community of Cherokee anchor this 2022 topographical study of Marathon County. The landscape is defined by the confluence and drainage of the Big Eau Pleine River and its major tributaries, including the E Br Big Eau Pleine River and W Br Big Eau Pleine River. This network of waterways is complemented by smaller streams like Randall Cr and Marsh Cr, carving through the agricultural and wooded tracts of the region. Local heritage is preserved in several rural burial sites, notably Saint Thomas Cem, Pilgrim Rest Cem, and Bethlehem Lutheran Cem. The map illustrates a rigid grid of rural roads such as Town Line Rd and Wuertzburg Rd, which divide the townships of T29N and T28N, reflecting the systematic land division characteristic of central Wisconsin's dairy and timber country.
