About this map

Port Edwards and the surrounding woodlands of Wood County are defined by a complex network of tributaries feeding the Wisconsin River. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape where industrial forestry and aviation infrastructure intersect with local recreation. The Griffith State Nursery occupies a central position near the shores of Nepco Lake, while the local aviation history is preserved through Alexander Field South Wood County Airport and the smaller Jennie's Field Airport to the south.

Water management and conservation are evident in the series of numbered creeks—Onemile Cr, Twomile Cr, Fourmile Cr, Fivemile Cr, Sevenmile Cr, and Tenmile Cr—that flow through the region. Significant landmarks such as Edwards Island and Lake Wazeecha provide focal points for the community, alongside seasonal sites like Nepco Camp and Camp Peterson. The map also details the transition from town grids to rural expanses along Townline Rd and Evergreen Ave.
