About this map

Glacial lakes and meandering waterways define the central Wisconsin landscape in this survey of the New Hope region. The Tomorrow River winds through the western half of the quadrangle, feeding into Nelsonville Pond 69 near the southern border. This area is characterized by numerous kettle lakes, including the cluster of Sunset Lake, Minister Lake, and Skunk Lake, which serves as a backdrop for the Chick-A-Gami Bay Scout Camp.

Settlement patterns follow the transition from rural crossroads like Garfield to the eponymous community of New Hope in the southeast corner. Local history is anchored by the Nelsonville Cemetery and family-named landmarks such as Kranski Lake and Pallen Lake. The drainage network, including Flume Creek and Poncho Creek, reflects a terrain heavily influenced by its hydrography, providing a clear view of the area's geography before significant 21st-century development.
