2022 Map of Rosholt NW

About this map

The Plover River meanders through a glaciated landscape defined by numerous kettle ponds and lakes along the border of Marathon and Portage counties. This 2022 survey captures the transition between the agricultural and forested lands surrounding Shantytown, a small settlement center where local routes like S Co Rd JY and Shantytown Dr converge. The topography is dominated by water features, including the prominent Big Bass Lake and Little Bass Lake, alongside smaller bodies like Wadley Lake and the Chain Lakes. A network of rural lanes such as Leather Camp Dr and Ice Age Ln provides access to these wetlands and wooded tracts, reflecting a modern landscape still shaped by the underlying moraine geology. Genealogists and local historians can use this map to trace the relationship between family property lines and the natural hydrology of the central Wisconsin drainage basin.
