2010 Map of Wilson

About this map

Wilson and Hersey serve as the primary focal points of this western Wisconsin landscape, situated along a transportation corridor that bisects the rolling agricultural terrain. The map reveals a dense network of watercourses, including Cady Creek and Wilson Creek, which define the drainage patterns of the region. Local history is anchored at Oakwood Cemetery near Hersey and Saint Bridget Cemetery just west of Wilson, providing significant touchstones for genealogical research. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the complex tributaries of North Branch Gilbert Creek, Middle Branch Gilbert Creek, and South Branch Gilbert Creek. The road network, characterized by numerical designations like 90th Ave and 70th Ave, reflects the organized township-and-range surveying that shaped the development of St. Croix County's rural communities during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
