2013 Map of Richford

About this map

The Mecan River headwaters define this central Wisconsin landscape, which is largely shaped by its glacial legacy. The Ice Age Natl Scenic Trl winds through the western half of the quadrangle, passing near glacial features like Mecan Springs and Fish Lake. The settlement of Richford serves as a central hub, surrounded by a network of recreational camps and numerous small kettle lakes. In the early 21st century, the area maintains its character as a destination for outdoor youth organizations, evidenced by the American Legion Boys Camp on Lake Jeanette and the Merriam Boy Scout Camp on Lake Virginia. To the east, the Upper White River Millpond 1 indicates the historical utility of local waterways for milling, while the surrounding grid of county highways and named forest paths connects these water bodies and residential pockets.
