About this map

The Wisconsin River dominates this Wood County landscape, carving a wide path through Nekoosa where the Nekoosa WP348 Dam harnesses its power. This 2010 survey illustrates a region defined by its water management and industrial heritage, with multiple structures such as the Wood County 2 C 6118 Dam and the Wood County 3 C 6118 Dam regulating the low-lying terrain to the west. The area around Nekoosa Junction shows the intersection of rail and river commerce that sustained the local economy.

Genealogists and local researchers will find the Village of Port Edwards Cemetery and Riverside Cemetery clearly marked along the northern reaches of the river. To the west, the Cranmoor Airstrip and a network of rural roads like Lynn Hill Rd and Creamery Rd serve the surrounding agricultural and marshlands. Several smaller water bodies, including Grass Lake, Ross Lake, and Moccasin Creek, weave through the wooded and developed areas, providing a detailed look at the hydrology near the Nekoosa Post Office.
