2010 Map of Spencer South

About this map

The Yellow River and its various tributaries wind through this section of Marathon County, defining a landscape traditionally rooted in the agricultural and dairy heritage of central Wisconsin. Small rural communities like Chili and Veefkind serve as local anchors, connected by a systematic grid of county highways and named township roads such as Lincoln Spencer RD. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies three significant burial grounds: Coles Cemetery in the north, Salem Cemetery to the west, and Veefkind Cemetery near its namesake settlement. The hydrography is particularly detailed, tracing the courses of the East Branch Yellow River and South Branch Yellow River as they meander through the woodlots and fields, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped the land use and farm boundaries of the region for generations.
