About this map

Wild Rose serves as the primary hub in this portion of Waushara County, where the village streets meet the waters of Wild Rose Pond. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and springs, including Gilbert Lake, Kusel Lake, and Lake Napowan, which have long anchored local recreation and seasonal communities. The headwaters of the Pine River and Willow Cr wind through the terrain, fed by unique features like Fenrich Springs.

For genealogists and local historians, several rural burial grounds are documented, such as Dopp Cem, Lane Cem, and Garesalem Cem. The presence of the Wild Rose Idlewild Airport near the center of the sheet highlights the importance of light aviation to this pocket of central Wisconsin. Small crossroads and family-named landmarks like Howes Corners Cem provide essential markers for tracing property history in a region defined by its water-rich geography.
