About this map

Glacial topography and a dense network of kettle lakes define the Northwoods landscape near Woodboro. The terrain is shaped by the presence of Crescent Lake, Squash Lake, and the winding Wisconsin River, which flows through the southern half of the quadrangle. In the early 1980s, this area shows a transition from the preserved forests of the Cassian-Woodboro Recreation Area to the growing recreational infrastructure evidenced by Ski Lifts and several Public Access points for fishing and boating.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Woodboro Cem and the small settlement at Woodboro Springs, while the map also marks various Gravel Pits reflecting the local geology. Named water bodies like Manson Lake and Hancock Lake indicate the longstanding draw of this region for seasonal residents and outdoorsmen. The presence of Whirlpool Rapids on the river serves as a reminder of the waterway's natural character before extensive management.
