About this map

The South Branch Little Wolf River winds through the village of Scandinavia, where the Scandinavia Millpond 68 and Silver Lake define the local geography. This central Wisconsin landscape is characterized by its glacial history, with the Ice Age National Scenic Trail traversing a dense collection of kettle lakes including Skunk Lake, Marl Lake, and Johnson Lake. The map details a rural infrastructure rooted in small settlements like Sheridan and Cobb Town, connected by a grid of roads named for local families such as Bestul Rd, Hoyord Rd, and Rosholt Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including Scandinavia Cem, Farmington Lutheran Cem, and Salem Cem. To the south, the Waupaca River cuts across the corner of the survey near the Portage and Waupaca county line. The presence of Timberline Airport and various gravel pits indicates the modern industrial and transport uses of this largely agricultural and lacustrine terrain.
