About this map

Necedah serves as the focal point of this Juneau County landscape, situated at a bend where the Little Yellow River winds south toward its confluence. The terrain is defined by striking topographic contrasts, with the prominent elevation of Necedah Bluff rising abruptly just west of the village center, while to the east, the massive expanse of Petenwell Lake and the Wisconsin River corridor dominate the horizon. This 2018 survey reveals a complex hydrological network of managed waterways, including the West Petenwell Ditch, which cuts a straight line through the wetlands north of the village.

Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the Bayview Cem and the small Necedah Airport, located on the western outskirts. The map also documents the natural landmarks of the river valley, such as the distinctive Petenwell Rock overlooking the lake. Residential growth is visible along the grid of roads stretching west into the timbered sections, balanced by the extensive marshes and water bodies like Necedah Lake and Fish Lake that characterize this portion of central Wisconsin.
