About this map

Plainfield and the surrounding Waushara County landscape are defined by a dense concentration of glacial kettles and small lakes. This 2022 survey reveals a complex network of water bodies, including Plainfield Lake, Second Lake, and Sherman Lake, which dictate the local road patterns. The area serves as a significant touchstone for genealogy, preserving numerous small burial grounds such as Saint Pauls Cem, Hillside Cem, and the Ray Cem.

A notable modern feature is the Plainfield International Airport positioned just north of the village center. The terrain transitions toward the southeast into the path of the Ice Age National Scenic Trl, which winds through the glacial topography near Beechnut Rd. The map also captures the southern extent of the Portage County line and the northern reach of Hancock, showing how these central Wisconsin communities have maintained their rural character while supporting localized aviation and outdoor recreation.
