2010 Map of Vesper

About this map

Vesper serves as the primary hub in this portion of Wood County, where the village is anchored by the Vesper Dam along the East Fork Hemlock Creek. The landscape transition from agricultural plots to drainage basins is evident through the convergence of Hemlock Creek, Elm Creek, and Moccasin Creek. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, including Saint Pauls Lutheran Cemetery, Saint James Cemetery, and Trinity Cemetery, which reflect the early denominational heritage of the rural community. To the east and south, smaller settlements like Eight Corners and Walker are connected by a rigorous grid of county highways, while the Winch Airfield in the northeast and Cranberry Creek to the south mark the specialized land uses of this central Wisconsin terrain.
