About this map

The Wisconsin River Flowage and the Plover River converge at Stevens Point, anchoring a central Wisconsin landscape of education and industry. This late-twentieth-century study shows a city in transition, characterized by the expansive campus of Wisconsin State University and several parochial institutions like St Joseph Convent and Maria High Sch. The town's religious and civic infrastructure is densely mapped, featuring numerous churches such as St Peters Ch alongside the Courthouse and the Armory.

Beyond the urban core, the terrain shifts into the wetlands of Dewey Marsh to the north and small outlying settlements like Torun and Casimir. The local economy is represented by several active sandpits, a Quarry, and the Soo Line railroad. To the south and east, the villages of Park Ridge and Jordan are detailed near the McDill Pond and Jordan Pond impoundments, illustrating the region's reliance on managed waterways.
