About this map

Shennington and Wyeville anchor this landscape along the border of Monroe and Juneau counties, where a complex network of wetlands and man-made water management defines the terrain. The central and northern portions of the map are characterized by extensive marshlands, including the Monroe County Flowage, Dandy Cr Flowage, and Eagle Nest Flowage. These water bodies, along with the Lemonweir River in the southwest, illustrate the region's reliance on drainage and flowage systems, further evidenced by named features like Mud Ditch and Cutler Ditch.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant interest in the presence of Saint Johns Cem and Saint Peters Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the rural communities established here. The grid-like road system, featuring routes such as Blueberry Trl and Beaver Ridge Rd, provides clear orientation through the low-lying flats. This 2015 survey reflects a landscape shaped by persistent efforts to manage the water of the Central Wisconsin sand plains, preserving the locations of small settlements like Norway Ridge.
