2018 Map of Princeton West

About this map

Puckaway Lake anchors the southern boundary of this central Wisconsin landscape, where the Fox River meanders eastward toward the settlement of Princeton. The map reveals a complex hydraulic network, including the Mecan River and a notable Mill Race that cuts across the terrain north of the main river channel. This area reflects a long history of river-based commerce and community planning, with the eastern edge of the survey capturing the core of Princeton, including its post office and central streets like W Main St and S Clinton St. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including the Princeton Cem, Saint Johns Catholic Cem, and Saint Johns Lutheran Cem. Further west, the small settlement of Mecan is situated near the riverbanks, while shoreline features such as Zacharias Island and Haystack Point define the northern reach of the lake.
