About this map

Glacial topography and water dominate this Marathon County landscape, where the settlement of Elderon stands as a primary hub for the surrounding township. Numerous basins and kettles are filled by significant water bodies, including Pike Lake, Mission Lake, and the smaller Little Lake and Little Frog Lake to the southwest. The Plover River cuts through the northwest corner, while other drainages like McVay Brook and Comet Cr weave through the marshy lowland areas that define much of the terrain.

Local roads such as Mission Lake Rd and Plover River Rd provide access to these lakes and the rural homesteads scattered throughout the quadrangle. Genealogists may find interest in the Evergreen Rest Cem located north of Elderon. The map reflects a classic Wisconsin landscape of interconnected wetlands and timbered tracts, showing the persistence of the original township grid system across the varied topography of t27n r10e and its neighbors.
