About this map

The Wisconsin River dominates this Wood County landscape, winding south past the industrial and residential centers of Port Edwards and Nekoosa. This survey captures the region's complex water management and transportation systems, from the expansive Nekoosa Flowage to the intricate network of local drainages like Moccasin Creek and Ripple Creek. The transition from the developed riverbanks to the western wetlands is marked by the Cranmoor Airstrip, serving the area's agricultural hinterlands.

Researchers will find clear evidence of the community's infrastructure, including the Nekoosa Junction and established burial grounds like Riverside Cemetery and the Village of Port Edwards Cemetery. Further south, the map details the terrain around Tesserville and the seasonal waters of Ross Lake and Grass Lake. The landscape is etched with a precise grid of rural roads, such as Wilhorn Road and Lynn Hill Road, which provide access to the various sections of this central Wisconsin river valley.
