About this map

The settlement of Norton serves as a central point in this rural Dunn County landscape, situated at the crossroads of several local thoroughfares. To the west, the Hay River exhibits a highly sinuous, meandering path, eventually meeting the Red Cedar River in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This water-rich environment is further defined by several tributaries, including Otter Creek, Little Otter Creek, and Bronken Creek, which drain the surrounding agricultural fields.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of the Upper Popple Creek Cemetery in the north and the Otter Creek Cemetery near the center of the map. The transition of land use is visible through the presence of the Deepwood Golf Course, which occupies a large tract of land east of the main Otter Creek drainage. The grid of county highways and numbered roads, such as County Hwy-SS and County Hwy-Rd N, illustrates the 21st-century infrastructure supporting this Wisconsin farming community.
