What are the sand counties of Wisconsin?

Answer 1

In A Sand County Almanac, Aldo Leopold described Central Wisconsin as the "Sand Counties," a fitting name. The landscape is flat to gently rolling with extremely sandy soil. There is not an area defined as the sand counties but Marquette, Waushara, Adams, and parts of Columbia, Portage, Waupaca, and Sauk counties are usually given this designation. The area around the cities of Westfield, Wautoma, and Wild Rose is the heart of the sand counties, particularly for the fly fisherman.

Answer 2

The sand counties of Wisconsin refer to the region described in Aldo Leopold's book "A Sand County Almanac." This area is characterized by sandy soils and is located in central Wisconsin around the Wisconsin River. Leopold used this area to illustrate his ideas on land ethics and conservation.
