About this map

Glacial lakes and summer retreats define this portion of Waushara County, centered on the village of Wild Rose. The landscape is a complex network of water bodies, including Kusel Lake, Silver Lake, and Hills Lake, many of which host established recreational grounds such as Camp Windego, Camp Hiwela, and Camp Napowan. The Pine River and Willow Creek wind through the terrain, supporting the Wild Rose State Fish Hatchery and the Wild Rose WP117 Dam.

For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of several community burial grounds, such as Dopp Cemetery in the north and Howes Corners Cemetery to the southeast. The survey also captures the local aviation and scout history of the area, featuring the Wild Rose Idlewild Airport and multiple youth camps like Shin-Go-Beek Scout Camp and Camp Talaki, illustrating the region's long-standing role as a destination for outdoor education and seasonal residency.
