About this map

Saxeville and the surrounding central Wisconsin landscape appear here during the early 1960s, defined by a network of small lakes and glacial waterways. The topography is marked by a significant number of extraction sites, with numerous Gravel Pits and a Gravel Pit scattered across the township, reflecting the local importance of aggregate mining in this glaciated region. Water dominates the landscape, from the prominent Mill Pond and Big Cedar Lake to the winding course of the Pine River and Carpenter Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural landmarks, including the Mt Calvary Cem and the Emaus Ch in the northern section. Further south, the map identifies the Hilltop Cem and Pine River Cem, while the Wild Rose Sch serves as a marker for the area's mid-century educational infrastructure. The presence of a Flowing Well near the river indicates the groundwater characteristics of the Leon and Saxeville area.
