2018 Map of Nekoosa

About this map

The Wisconsin River carves a winding path through this central Wisconsin landscape, anchoring the industrial and residential centers of Nekoosa and Port Edwards. This 2018 survey reveals a distinct transition from the densely gridded streets of these riverside communities to the extensive wetlands and specialized agricultural features to the west. The area around Cranmoor Airstrip and 14-Reservoir reflects the region's long-standing connection to cranberry production, with a network of reservoirs and irrigation canals including Lunn Creek and Moccasin Creek. To the south, the river forms complex oxbows and islands near Grass Lake, while smaller tributaries like Tenmile Creek and Ripple Cr drain the surrounding timber and bog lands. Local history is preserved in the location of Port Edwards Cem and Riverside Cem, while Nekoosa Junction highlights the importance of rail connectivity in the development of the local paper and wood industries.
