USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Portage serves as a critical hydrological junction in the mid-1980s, where the Wisconsin River and the Fox River nearly meet. This unique geography is bridged by a historic Canal and guarded by a lock, illustrating the town's historical importance as a place of transit between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River watersheds. An Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across the wetlands south of Swan Lake, marking a significant cartographic record of historical land agreements in Columbia County.
