About this map

The Pine River flows through the heart of this Waushara County landscape, where the small settlements of Saxeville and the village of Pine River serve as local anchors. Water management is a defining characteristic of the area, evidenced by the presence of several named water control structures including the Clarks Mill Dam and the Pine River 3WR1564 Dam. These sites, along with the Mill Pond and several glacially-formed lakes like Big Cedar Lake and Little Cedar Lake, illustrate how early 21st-century rural Wisconsin utilized its local hydrology for community and agricultural purposes.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial sites, such as Cedar Cemetery in the north and Hilltop Cemetery near Saxeville. The map also traces the winding course of Austin Creek and Carpenter Creek, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns that shaped the placement of farms and early homesteads. From the Mount Calvary Cemetery to the various county highways that knit these communities together, the layout reflects a stable, agricultural tradition.
