About this map

The Baraboo River carves a winding path through the Juneau and Sauk County border, anchoring the village of Wonewoc. In the mid-1970s, this landscape was defined by the industrial presence of the Chicago and North Western railroad and several local resource extraction sites, including a Quarry and Sandpit. The terrain is characterized by high ridges such as Pleasant Ridge and Potter Ridge, while the distinctive Castle Rocks formation stands out west of the river.

For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is dense with family-named landmarks and ancestral sites. Numerous burial grounds are documented, including Pine Eden Cem, St Paul Cem, and Hochmuth Cem. The rural road network, with names like Tiedtke Road and Overgard Road, reflects generations of family landholdings across the townships of Plymouth and Summit. Small-scale aviation is also noted at the Three Castles Landing Strip just north of the village center.
