About this map

The Yellow River winds through this Wood County landscape, anchoring the settlement of Pittsville and the recreational waters of Lake Dexter. By the mid-1980s, the area reflects a mix of small-town development and rural utility, with the Green Bay and Western railroad corridor passing south of the main town center. Local history is etched into the land via sites like St Joachims Cem, Mound Cem, and the prominent Cary Mound to the northwest.

Industry and terrain are characterized by several Gravel Pits, a Cranberry Bog, and the natural drop of Little Bull Falls. Outside the main hub, the community of Veedum sits near the Dairy Road and Swamp Road junction, while the East Fork Black River clips the southwestern corner. The map documents a transition from the structured street grid of Pittsville to the sprawling wetlands and woodlots of Cary and Dexter townships.
