About this map

The glacial waters of Pike Lake and Mission Lake anchor this 2010 topographic study of Marathon County. The landscape is defined by its hydrology, featuring the Plover River and the winding courses of McVay Brook and Comet Creek. The small settlement of Ingersoll is situated in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle along Spranger Creek, while the Elderon Lookout Tower stands as a prominent local landmark near the center of the sheet.

Evidence of the area's rural development and genealogy is visible through sites like the Evergreen Rest Cemetery and the dense grid of local roads, such as County Hwy-Y and Mission Lake Rd. Smaller water bodies like Little Lake, Lost Lake, and Little Frog Lake dot the terrain, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this Wisconsin region. This map provides a clear view of the transition between natural wetlands and the structured agricultural and residential plots established by the early 21st century.
