About this map

Peeksville and the northern outskirts of Butternut define the settlement pattern in this section of Ashland County. The landscape is heavily influenced by the meandering East Fork Chippewa River and a series of smaller watercourses including Schraum Creek and Spiller Cr. The area is characterized by numerous small lakes and springs, such as Camp Four Lake, Bullhead Lake, and Slim Lake, which are scattered throughout the forested and wetland-rich terrain.

Genealogists and local historians will find a well-preserved grid of rural roads bearing family names, such as Bucheger Rd, Schmenski Rd, and Hauschild Rd. These routes provide access to the dispersed farmsteads and homes of the region. Near the southern edge of the map, the Saint Cecelia Cem serves as a significant landmark for those researching family roots in the Butternut area, situated amidst the drainage of Butternut Cr.
