About this map

Nelsonville sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the Tomorrow River flows through the Nelsonville Pond. The area is defined by a dense concentration of glacial kettles and small lakes, providing a snapshot of Central Wisconsin before significant modern development altered the rural character. In the northern reaches, the St Adalbert Sch and Collins Park serve the scattered farming community near Collins Lake.

Transport and recreation intersect at the Chick-A-Gami Boy Scout Camp on the shores of Sunset Lake. The network of country roads, including Stony Creek Road and Flume Road, connects small hamlets like Garfield, North New Hope, and South New Hope. This 1969 survey captures the region's agricultural and recreational transition, showing numerous Gravel Pits and the winding course of Poncho Creek through the glacial terrain.
