2015 Map of Necedah

About this map

The Yellow River and Necedah Flowage dominate this central Wisconsin landscape, where the waters converge near the village of Necedah. The map documents a complex aquatic environment shaped by both natural river courses and extensive water management systems, including the West Petenwell Ditch and the expansive Petenwell Lake along the eastern boundary. The presence of Petenwell Rock and Necedah Bluff provides significant topographic relief against the surrounding wetlands and river bottoms. Local history and community life are grounded in landmarks such as the Bay View Cem and the Necedah Airport, while the intricate network of township roads and drainage systems reveals the long-standing efforts to navigate and manage the marshy terrain between the Yellow River and the Wisconsin River.
