2015 Map of Spencer South

About this map

The Yellow River and its multiple branches, including the E Br Yellow River and S Br Yellow River, dominate the drainage of this central Wisconsin landscape at the border of Clark, Marathon, and Wood Counties. The village of Spencer sits at the northern edge, where the terrain transitions into the McMillan Marsh. This agricultural and wetland region is defined by a rigid grid of country roads and section lines, with small historic settlements like Veefkind and Chili serving as local landmarks. Genealogists may find interest in the Coles Cem located along Willard Road. The map documents a rural network of family-named lanes and county routes, such as Veefkind Rd and Chili Rd, illustrating the persistent layout of dairy country and the complex water systems that feed the regional rivers.
