About this map

The central Wisconsin dairy and timber lands of Wood, Marathon, and Portage Counties are defined here by a dense grid of rural schoolhouses and rail-dependent settlements. The Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie corridor links the village of Auburndale to Milladore and Blenker, while Junction City marks the intersection with the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific line to the east.

Inland from the Big Eau Pleine Reservoir, the landscape is dotted with family-named landmarks and local institutions, many of which were already noted as inactive during the mid-century field examination. This includes Runkle Sch, Clovernook Sch, and Sunrise Valley Sch. The presence of these decommissioned sites alongside active centers like Reformed Ch and various town halls reflects the shifting demographics of rural Sherry and Arpin townships as smaller neighborhood school districts consolidated.
