2022 Map of Pine Island

About this map

Pine Island and the meandering Wisconsin River dominate this landscape west of Portage, where the river network defines the local geography. The map reveals a complex water system including the Baraboo River, Leech Creek, and the wetlands of the Big Slough. This region at the border of Sauk and Columbia counties is characterized by established agricultural and community markers, evidenced by numerous rural cemeteries such as Cummings Cem, Saint Paul Lutheran Cem, and Welsh Church Cem. To the south, the elevation rises toward North Range and Cascade Mtn, providing a stark contrast to the low-lying river bottoms. The road network, with names like Cheese Factory Rd and Wolfram Rd, reflects the area's deep-rooted land use and local heritage.
