2015 Map of Vesper

About this map

Vesper and the nearby crossroads of Eight Corners anchor this rural Wood County landscape, where the Wisconsin Central railroad corridor remains a primary geographic axis. The terrain is defined by its transition from the built environments of the town center to extensive wetland systems, particularly in the southern reaches near Cranberry Cr. Genealogists will find this sheet especially valuable for its high density of well-documented burial grounds, including Trinity Cem, Faith Cem, and Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem, which are interspersed among the rectangular grid of local county highways. Small-scale aviation is represented by Winch Airfield and Swensen Airport, while the hydrography is characterized by meandering drainage systems like Hemlock Creek and Moccasin Cr. The map preserves the modern distribution of family-named roads and rural parish centers that define this Wisconsin agricultural region.
