About this map

The Wisconsin River corridor defines this portion of Wood County, anchored by the industrial and residential settlement of Port Edwards. Water management is a primary characteristic of the local landscape, visible through the Centralia Flowage, Port Edwards Flowage, and the significant expanse of Nepco Lake. These reservoirs and the surrounding system of numbered creeks—from Twomile Cr down to Tenmile Cr—illustrate the complex hydrological engineering used for local industry and recreation.

Transportation and infrastructure are well-documented, featuring the Alexander Field South Wood County Airport and the Soo Line railroad. Rural cemeteries such as Green Hill Cem and Pioneer Townline RD Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The map also includes curious local designations like Jennie's Field and the residential area of Wazeecha near Lake Wazeecha.
