About this map

Spaulding and Pray anchor this portion of Jackson County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways and managed marshes. The East Fork Black River cuts through the northern section, feeding into the Cranberry Marsh Reservoir 2WP1503 Dam. This region is heavily shaped by hydrological engineering, as evidenced by the series of drainage systems including the North Floater Ditch, South Floater Ditch, and Hunters Peak Ditch. These features point to a history of commercial cranberry cultivation and water management in the Central Wisconsin wetlands.

Prominent landforms like Sugarloaf Mound and Bear Bluff rise above the surrounding terrain, providing topographic variation in an area otherwise characterized by creek-fed basins like Potter Flowage 58. Local transit is centered on Old Hwy 54, which connects the small settlements and junctions such as Lapham Junction, while family-named roads like Jagielo Rd and Steponik Rd trace the rural properties of the early 21st century.
