2022 Map of New Miner

About this map

The low-lying wetlands of the Yellow River valley define this corner of Juneau County, where the unincorporated settlement of New Miner sits amidst a landscape of drainage ditches and marshy basins. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, anchored by historical burial grounds such as Novotny Cem and Saint Pauls Evangelical Lutheran Cem. The southern edge of the map captures the northern reach of Petenwell Lake, a massive reservoir on the river system. The terrain is notably flat, characterized by seasonal wetlands and the winding course of Cranberry Creek. For the local historian, the map preserves the exact locations of family-named landmarks and smaller community sites like Searles Prairie Cem and Zion Cem, alongside a grid of rural roads such as Co RD G and Co RD F that connect these dispersed agricultural and wilderness tracts.
