About this map

The village of Spencer and the community of Unity anchor this landscape along the border of Marathon and Clark Counties. The terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, dominated by the Little Eau Pleine River and its associated wetlands, including Spencer Marsh and McMillan Marsh. This area is marked by a traditional grid of agricultural roads, such as Townhall Rd and Fairhaven Ave, which connect the rural farmsteads to the central transport corridors of Front St and River Ave.

Genealogists will find several notable local landmarks, including Brighton Cem, Trinity Cem, and West Spencer Cem, which sit within the townships of t27n r2e and t26n r2e. The drainage patterns of the S Fork Popple River and Winding Cr shape the woodlots and fields of this Central Wisconsin region, illustrating the balance between organized township settlement and the natural wetland basins that have remained largely undeveloped.
