About this map

The Wisconsin River defines the western landscape of this mid-1980s Columbia County study, where the waters of Columbia Lake sit adjacent to a prominent powerplant. This industrial presence contrasts with the conservation-focused Poynette State Game Farm to the south. The area is characterized by a mix of glacial terrain features like Cascade Mountain and the water-cut banks of St Lawrence Bluff and Whites Bluff.

Settlement patterns in Poynette and Dekorra are linked by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, while local rural life is anchored by landmarks such as the Inch Ch and several burial grounds including Hillside Cem and Schofield Cem. Private aviation is represented by the Bancroft Landing Strip Mc Millan - 866, indicating the mix of agriculture and modern utility that shaped this region in the late 20th century.
