About this map

The Wisconsin River and Plover River converge at the heart of this landscape, defining the industrial and civic development of Whiting and Plover. Hydropower and milling legacy are visible through specific structures like the Upper Paper Mill WP235 Dam and the Whiting Plover 2WP843 Dam. These waterways wrap around Fields Island and the landmark Yellow Banks, creating a complex riparian environment that once fueled the region’s early paper and lumber economy.

Residential growth spreads east from the rivers, while the southern reaches transition into a more structured agricultural grid marked by Buena Vista Creek and extensive drainage projects like Ditch Number One. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by the McDill Cemetery, Plover Cemetery, and Maine Cemetery, alongside the Runway Leasing Incorporated Number 2 Airport. The map documents a modern infrastructure established alongside these older natural and industrial landmarks.
