About this map

Polar and the surrounding township in Langlade County appear here as a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes, springponds, and small creeks. The terrain is notably water-heavy, featuring names like Sylan Lake, Mueller Lake, and the expansive Garski Flowage. This 2010 survey records the layout of rural crossroads and family-named homestead routes, centering on the quiet settlements of Elton and Sherry Junction.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise location of the Sherry Cemetery and the presence of several distinct spring systems, including Hatton Springs, Nixon Springs, and the uniquely named Hoglot Springs. The northern boundary is marked by the Kent Lookout Tower, while the southern reaches include Camp Black Hawk and Florence Lake. This map captures a moment of modern rural continuity, where the natural water features of central Wisconsin remain the primary landmarks for the local community.
