2018 Map of New Hope

About this map

Nelsonville and Rosholt anchor this portion of Portage County, where the Tomorrow River winds through a landscape defined by glacial activity and a high density of kettle lakes. The southern reach of the map features the village of Nelsonville and the nearby Nelsonville Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical research in the township. Moving north, the small settlement of Garfield and the community of New Hope sit amidst a complex network of county roads like Co Rd Z and Co Rd OO. The area is notably water-rich, featuring numerous named bodies such as Collins Lake, Rinehart Lake, and the adjacent Sunset Lake and Minister Lake. This drainage pattern, including Flume Cr and Nice Cr, reveals the intricate hydrology that has historically influenced land use and settlement patterns in this central Wisconsin region.
