2013 Map of Westboro

About this map

Glacial topography and the Northwoods water network define this Taylor County landscape, where the Ice Age Natl Scenic Trl winds through a dense cluster of kettle lakes and marshes. The settlement patterns are anchored by Westboro, Queenstown, and Chelsea, which align with the historical transportation corridor of Bus Highway 13 and the winding course of Silver Creek. These small communities serve as gateways to a complex hydrology, including the headwaters of the Black River and the meandering Mondeaux River to the west. The map captures a transition between residential development and the wooded shoreline of various named water bodies such as Half Moon Lake, Chelsea Lake, and Wellington Lake. Local thoroughfares like Settlement Dr and Cemetery Ave offer specific touchpoints for genealogists and researchers tracking the rural footprint of these Wisconsin towns in the early 21st century.
