2018 Map of Polonia

About this map

The Plover River and its accompanying Jordan Swamp dominate the western landscape of this Portage County region, creating a distinct natural boundary near the eastern edge of Stevens Point. The map illustrates a rural settlement pattern defined by small crossroads communities such as Polonia, Ellis, and Custer. While Stevens Point shows signs of residential expansion with streets like Regent St and Algoma St, the surrounding townships remain characterized by agricultural parcels and scattered glacial lakes. The drainage of the Tomorrow River in the northeast and water bodies like Oesterle Lake and Bakers Lake dictate the winding path of local routes. This 2018 survey captures the transition from the city's suburban fringe into the dense network of county roads and family-named lanes that define the central Wisconsin countryside.
