2012 Map of Wacker

About this map

Spring Lake and the winding course of the Plum River anchor the western edge of this Carroll County landscape. The area is defined by a network of rural settlements and agricultural crossroads, including Hickory Grove, Wacker, and Burke. Transportation infrastructure, such as the Tri-Township Airport near Ayers and various routes like Wacker Rd, connects these small communities. Genealogical interest is centered on local burial grounds like Wacker Cem, Center Hill Cem, and Argo Cem, which provide ties to the families that settled this river valley. The map also captures the path of Carroll Cr and Johnson Cr through the interior, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped the region's farming history near Argo Fay.
