About this map

The Pine River winds through this central Wisconsin landscape, anchoring a rural community defined by its waterways and small-scale industry in the early 1960s. The village of Saxeville sits at a crossroads near the Pine River, while the northern portion of the quadrangle is marked by glacial water bodies like Big Cedar Lake and Little Cedar Lake. Numerous Gravel Pits are scattered across the terrain, indicating the local importance of aggregate extraction for road building and construction during this era.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through the inclusion of landmarks such as Emaus Ch, Wild Rose Sch, and several community burial grounds including Cedar Cem and Mt Calvary Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage network, where Austin Creek and Magdanz Creek feed into larger systems like the Mill Pond, illustrating the hydraulic connections that once supported local mills and agriculture.
