2018 Map of Pine Island

About this map

Wisconsin River and Baraboo River converge in this section of Columbia County, creating a complex landscape of wetlands and waterways. The namesake Pine Island sits within the shifting channels of the river, while the elevation rises sharply to the south at North Range and Cascade Mtn. This area is defined by its rural heritage, marked by several historic religious sites including Saint Paul Lutheran Cem, Saint Michaels Cem, and Welsh Church Cem. A dense network of agricultural roads like Cheese Factory Rd and Adney Rd reveals the longstanding dairy and farming traditions of the region. The map also traces the winding course of the Big Slough and Leech Creek, documenting the hydraulic character of the terrain just west of Portage.
