Well this is a map that I made of Wisconsin sightings. I believe most are on here that I am aware of. Some areas have multiple number of sightings. Hopefully this is easy to see. I am not very good with this stuff yet.....so bare with me!!!! (The hot pink squares are the areas of sighting)

SAIL

AWESOME!!!!!! It worked!!!!!YIPPIE!!!!!!!




Sailgirl

I see just a regular map, Should I see soemthing else ?

The areas with the purple squares are the marked sighting spots......I see them...don't you????? Yikes........

I see them! Good job!

Sorry but I see just a plain map.

Hey Saily,

I think you meant bear with me not bare with me.

Nice map Do you have a list of the sightings to go with it? Kind of hard to tell if something is missing if I can't x-ref to a actual location and date.

What sources did you use for the map? Just curious where the list came from.


Again nice work

WIS

Good job sailgirl!

Maybe that's what she meant!

Yes I meant bear....it just looks weird spelled that way. Yes I have a sightings list that I have had for about 5 years now and I have been getting these form the sources books, BFRO, GCBFO, and Oregon Bigfoot, and just about every other BF site on the internet. I just record them on a map so I can see what areas are high BF sighting regions. I have most of the dates as well and other detail I can post them when I have more time to type because it is a LONG list!!!!!!!! There are actually alot of WI sightings.....I was surprised when I started this map and list. I have around 40 for the past 10 years or so. And that is just ones that I know of that have been recorded somewhere. If you look at the map they are spred out alot too.....the main areas I think are: Price county Park Falls area and Jackson/Clark counties. These counties have multiple sightings which COULD be the same Bigfoot moving around, but I feel if there is one there is probably more close by.



Sail

I am not sure why I can not see the added thing on this map. Do you need some plug in ? I have tried with both Foxfire and IE both just show a plain map.

Great job Sail!

Go girl go...

Great job! I do samething myself on Illinois map from several websites and books sighting reported in Illinois. I marked red circle on exactly location and nearest town. Small circle is one report, bigger circle for more than two reports, etc. I used blue circles for mystery cats. I like Stream Map of Illinois Copyright 1999 by Vivid Publishing, Inc. Montoursville, PA. The map show every streams, town, lakes and roads.
Hear anything from Bray Road?

micahn the sightings are marked on the map with small, dark squares.
Good work sailgirl.

Okay....I will start with the most recent sightings.....and work my way down the older sightings......

January 2005 Jackson County-Hatfield-North east of Black River Falls-Off Cty Hwy K Also stories of sightings near Wazee Lake south of here.

2004 Price County Park Falls- area not disclosed by witness

2003 Price County Lugerville- West of Hwy 13 near Rock Creek Rd.

2003 Dunn County Wheeler- Near Otter Creek

2003 Sept. Shawano County off Cty D between Bowler and Tilleda

2002 Burnett County Danbury- Hwy 35 north off St. Croix River

2002 Price County-Phillips- near Cty Hwy F and Mt. Pelee Road

2002 May Shawano County Pella- Hayman County Park- I have been at this site!
Very spooky and quiet area very wooded and secluded.


That is all for now....will post more later!!!!! Hope you enjoy the info!

Sail

Nice. Musta' taken' a while.
Hey micahn, I was having trouble seeing it too but if you look reeal close you can see the pink/purple squares.

Maybe I should have used a different color square...... maybe I can find a better way to mark the areas........


Sail

hi sailgirl good evening thats a wonderful map of wisconsin i like how you pinpointed the sightings over the years is this for a study for a possible sasquatch migration route in wisconsin. you should do make a graph chart to show amount of sightings footprint etc that have been over the years and post it on this thread. are you thinking about writing a book about the wisconsin sasquatch or a documentary. thanks bill green please keep me posted. p.s. do you ever get possible photos of sasquatch creatures from your state and not blobsquatches.

Maybe a more stand-outish color for the squares would help. Like uhh, orange or something.

Here....maybe this will show up alittle better for you to see.........



Saily

Yeah, that definitely helps.

Uhoh. Sasquatch landmines. Watch where you step.

Great idea and great map, Ms Girl! The Bigfoot Sighting Road Atlas of Wisconsin. I'll bring it if I ever make it there.

DR

Perfection.

Thanks Sailgirl! The two sightings outside of Rice lake are right where I heard my only vocalization in 1999. Very informative.-SH

I know you did Just having some fun.

Thanks for the list of recent sightings. I'll check to see if I have any more. I'll check the Wierd WI sight to see if any of those match.

I really like this map. Its put the local sightings into perspective.



WIS

Awesome girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 2nd one definately looks better. I also had a hard time finding the spots on the 1st one.

Do you mind if I copy your map for myself?

I'll use it to show the wife & kids where I want to go camping this summer.

Great stuff! Could I suggest something that may shed further light on where these animals may be hanging out? Why not do the same thing with a topographical map. It might show a common denominator in where the WI sassies look for when they move around. It might also shed some light on what terrain they move through.

Once again - great job!

Tom

Nice job! Second one clearer than the first.. Probably what would really nail it is a little visual "key" at the bottom - ie your "red dot" = Sasquatch Sightings. Perhaps that's why people didn't all see it at first - they didn't equate the symbols as being something that wasn't already part of the map.


John

Just a thought - fine as it is....

Great job! Second map is much better and more accurate location!

Sally:

Yea, I understand the spellling part, be kaz I kant spail wurth a fleep weeth ot mi spale cheker -

Anyway, seriously, nice map. I've been trying to locate BF sighting info with GPS data references myself, but they are very few. Even older Quad maps with L/L would suffice and are easily converted to GPS data points.

But again, thanks for the map, it is very helpful and informative.

Nice map. Good work. The red dots are much easier to see clearly. What I will say though is that I find it hard to accept that something like a Sas has been seen so close to a big city like Milwaukee. That's hard to get my head around.

Do you know what the countyside/ terrain is like in that particular area? It just seems weird to me.

The closest sighting to Milwaukee is actually Pewaukee. There is a large lake here with some swampy areas near by.....an area about 15 miles from the sighting is actually very wooded/remote with rivers, small lakes and swampy areas here....this is were the BF was probably coming from would be my GUESS. It wasn't acutally that close to the city, approximately 10-12 miles. It just looks closer on the big map. You would be surprised how close they do come to big cities.....look at Michigan.....alot of the sightings there are near Detroit area.


Sail

Nice job with the map sailgirl. Did you include sightings from "The W-Files" too? I understand Linda Godfrey has received more potential bigfoot related sightings in her on-going research on the Bray Road Beast so I'm anxious to see her "Book 2".

Lyndon, I agree that given what we think about bigfoot it's hard to imagine a sighting so close to Milwaukee, but I would add that the City of Milwaukee is surrounded by farms and forest. Pewaukee Lake, where the sighting occurred, is densely wooded in some areas. A bear was live captured and released in the wilds just yesterday from a close suburb of Milwaukee. There are deer even within the city limits and they are a real problem in the suburbs. Fox are seen regularly in the suburbs too. The Pewaukee sighting involved two witnesses who were sitting by the lake when they saw the alleged bigfoot and they observed it for a length of time in daylight so I think it contains more credibility than some reports. I don't think bigfoot is there all the time, but I think this particular case may have been one 'just passing through'.

I'm moving this to Independent Research and Data Analysis.

Thanks Sail, I appeciate your answer.

Well, like you and Just Curious have pointed out then, there seem to be suitable terrain and country there for something like that to hide in and move about. The 'passing through' idea sounds likely.

If you come up with anything else of interest please post it. Pictures of the kind of area etc.

That's why I recommended a topo map. It will fill in those blanks.

Tom

You could put a little red dot on the southwest corner in Dubuque IA on the border of IA, WI and IL. That's where my sighting took place. It's was about 5 miles inland from the Mississippi River.

Wow, I used to take HWY 11 from Racine to Dubuque all the time when I was stationed at Great Lakes. I'd go through Lake Geneva, Delavan, Darien, Janesville, Monroe..... never thinking of looking. Now that I look at your map, I was traveling through some possible hotspots. Most of the area was farm country interspersed with heavily forested rolling hills. It was a great drive. I'm surprised there isn't more around the Geneva area.

I am trying to find a good WI topo map just for this purpose. People assume that WI is just farms and fields.....when in fact we have quite a bit of hills and forest lands. Not to mention some of the biggest swamp and marsh areas. Also many lakes and rivers. Very good BF habitat up north of the state as well as the central/West area of the state is also prime BF area. I will post my sightings on this map as soon as I can find one that will work for this. I will be continuing to update this as I become aware of more sightings. I have more sources to check.



Saily

Great Stuff!

Here is a more topographic map showing the land valleys and higher elevation areas of the state. It doesn't show the swamp areas, but it gives you an idea anyway..........


Sailgirl

To me, that's the best map yet! Too bad the population centers weren't included, but I have a pretty good idea where they are using a mixture of the two.

Good Job Sail!

Here's a pic to give everyone an idea of WI looks like along the Mississippi. It was taken about 70 miles upriver from where I grew up.

Edit to add pic.

Sail/Jason,

Nice one with the map and pic. Makes things a lot clearer to someone like me who hasn't got a clue about that area.

Cheers!

Much better!

That's better Sail. Way cool! Now, can you whip that up for the rest of the states real quick?

Here is a more detailed area of Price county BF sightings. The area marked in a thin black line outines some large swamp areas that are on each side of Hwy 13.


Sailgirl

Here is a map of Jackson County area where BF sightings are.

Here is a map of Barron County where there have been multiple sightings since the 1990's. They are marked with a black circle.....

It is a very good map. Are all of these actual sightings or are tracks found and noises heard included in this map?.. If so you can ad 3 in Presque Isle and 1 north of boulder junction. Both areas are in the northen middle of the state and are along the u.p. border. 2 are sightings and 2 are screams and howls. I could ad another one but that was a extreamly foul smell comming in thru an open kitchen window after dark. From how it was described to me I would have to say yes but it was a second hand report and I and my wife spent to nights in the woods after that with nothing unusual. I was also invloved in the one sighting and the screams. Also the migration theory is very likely. If you look at most of the reports there is a pattern of either early spring or late fall. I think wisconsin is a highway for them to enter the U.P. of michigan which if anyones been there there is a whole lotta nothing with a lot of rivers and streams flowing to lake superior. Also most fall sighting are right before or right after the first snow fall. They are definetly heading south before they can be easly tracked by the snow cover. If anyone is interested I will go into detail about my sighting and stuff at a later date. I was just cruising the site and came across this post and thought I would ad my input

hi diablo blue i would be very interested in seeing you post your sasquatch experances etc on this thread. please draw a sketch of what you saw. did you find any footprints etc in the areas of the sightings. please keep me & everyone here on this great bigfoot forum posted ok. also sailgirl those are great maps of wisconsin. have you gone on any sasquatch trips lately if yes please let us know and always bring your camera. bill green

Hey Diablo Blue, of course we are interested. You go for it and tell us details if you want.


Sailgirl,

One again, great stuff. When are you going out again? I recal reading about a trip you did with Blackdog and Uffda not that long ago although offhand I can't recal the exact location. Are you off again soon?

Cheers!
