About this map

Glacial topography and a network of protected lands define this portion of the Waushara and Marquette County border region in the late 1970s. The village of Westfield serves as the primary eastern hub, anchored by the Westfield Creek and Riverside Cemetery. The landscape is notably punctuated by several public conservation areas, including the Lawrence Creek State Public Hunting Grounds and the Chaffee Creek State Fishery Area, suggesting a region heavily focused on outdoor recreation and watershed management.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by rural landmarks like the South Burr Oak Church and its adjacent S Burr Oak Cemetery, as well as the Pleasant View Cemetery near Pine Lake. Transportation is characterized by a grid of named roads like Dakota Avenue and Dyke Avenue, while unique terrain features such as Horseshoe Bluff and the Caves near Tagatz Creek indicate a diverse geological character. Small gravel pits and quarries reveal the local extraction efforts necessary for building these rural arteries.
