2013 Map of Prentice

About this map

The confluence of rail and road infrastructure at Prentice defines the character of this Price County landscape. Situated at the junction of Us-8 and Wi-13, the village serves as a regional hub near the South Fork Jump River. Industrial and logistical heritage is evident in the layout of the town, from the municipal Prentice Airport to the naming of Railroad Ave. Waterways dominate the northern and western reaches, where Cranberry Lake and Worcester Lake punctuate the timbered terrain. The presence of Worcester to the north reflects the historical settlement patterns of the late 19th-century logging boom, while the Prentice Flowage 59 underscores the managed water resources used for both power and recreation in the Wisconsin Northwoods.
