About this map

The Quail Point Flowage and surrounding marshlands of Wood County define this central Wisconsin landscape, characterized by an extensive network of water management features. At the southern end of the sheet, the South Bluff Lookout Tower sits atop S Bluff, providing a high vantage point over the low-lying terrain. The hydrography is dominated by man-made and natural water bodies, including Bullgrass Flowage, E Potts Flowage, and S Gallagher Flowage, which are connected by a system of waterways and drainage like Remington Ditch.

A sparse road network, including W Fence Ln and Ball Rd, cuts through the wetlands, reflecting the area's use for resource management and wildlife habitat rather than dense residential development. The map details the transition between various water systems, from the East Fork Black River in the northwest to the Yellow River in the southeast, providing a clear picture of the hydrologic divide in this portion of the Wisconsin River valley drainage basin.
