About this map

The Green Bay and Western Railroad defines the industrial transit corridor of this Jackson County landscape, passing through small rail-oriented settlements like Pray and Spaulding. This region of central Wisconsin is characterized by extensive wetlands and commercial agriculture, evident in the numerous Cranberry Bogs and the managed water systems of the North Floater Ditch and South Floater Ditch.

Topographically, the area is punctuated by distinct high points rising from the level terrain, including Saddle Mound, Sugarloaf Mound, and Bear Bluff. The drainage patterns of the East Fork Black River and McKenna Creek create a complex mosaic of marshland, notably around Potter Flowage. To the east, the Meadow Valley State Wildlife Management Area marks a shift toward conservation and habitat protection along the county line.
