2015 Map of Plainfield

About this map

Plainfield and the surrounding central Wisconsin farmland are characterized by a dense concentration of kettle lakes and a meticulously gridded township-and-range road system. This landscape reflects the glacial legacy of the region, where numerous named water bodies like Plainfield Lake, Sherman Lake, and Lake Huron are scattered across the terrain. The presence of multiple burial grounds, including Hillside Cem, Saint Pauls Cem, and Ray Cem, indicates long-standing rural community centers established throughout the townships of t20n r8e and t20n r9e. The map also traces a segment of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail as it winds through the southeastern corner near Hancock, providing a clear record of modern recreational land use alongside the traditional agricultural and aviation infrastructure of the Plainfield International Airport.
