About this map

The village of Wild Rose serves as the focal point for this landscape where the borders of Waushara, Portage, and Waupaca counties converge. This area is characterized by an exceptional density of glacial kettle lakes and waterways, including the winding Pine River and the expansive Kusel Lake. The settlement pattern is defined by rural residential clusters surrounding these water bodies, connected by a network of county highways and local roads like Co Hwy H.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several historic burial grounds across the township, such as Springwater Cem, Howes Corners Cem, and Dopp Cem. The inclusion of the Wild Rose-Idlewild Airport underscores the community's modern infrastructure, while named features like Humphrey Cr and Norwegian Lake reflect the natural and cultural heritage of this central Wisconsin region.
