The Portage area is defined by the historic confluence of major waterways, where the Fox River and the Wisconsin River nearly meet. This geographical bottleneck, long a vital portage point for travel and trade, is anchored by the Columbia County Courthouse and a dense network of city streets including W Cook St and W Pleasant St. The map illustrates a landscape of wetlands and water bodies, including Silver Lake, Swan Lake, and the meandering French Creek.
