2018 Map of New Miner

About this map

New Miner anchors this rural landscape at the boundary of Wood and Juneau Counties, where a grid of range roads meets the sprawling wetland systems of the Central Wisconsin Sand and Uplands. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the southward-flowing Cranberry Creek and the Yellow River, which ultimately feeds into the expansive Petenwell Lake visible at the southern edge of the quadrangle. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for several community landmarks that speak to the area's pioneer heritage, such as Saint Pauls Evangelical Lutheran Cem and the Novotny Cem. This 2018 survey also identifies the Searles Prairie Cem and Zion Cem, offering a detailed look at the scattered rural burial sites and homestead names that have persisted through generations of land use in this marsh-and-meadow region.
