Village of Plover: I-39/US 51 at County B

Among Wisconsin’s communities, the Village of Plover stands out for its place in the Central Sands, one of the state’s principal potato-growing areas. The Plover River runs through the village on its way to the Wisconsin River, connecting this compact Portage County community with the wider river corridor around Stevens Point. Agriculture remains central to local life, as sandy soils and irrigation support potato and vegetable farms across the region. An oversized potato masher monument outside the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association gives Plover a memorable agricultural landmark.

Built around Great Lakes shipping, timber, and dairy farming, Wisconsin grew into a Midwestern state with a distinctive industrial and rural identity. Lake Michigan forms its eastern edge, while the Mississippi River marks much of the west; between them lie forests, farms, and thousands of inland lakes. Milwaukee, on Lake Michigan, developed as a major brewing centre, and the state’s dairy tradition remains central to its food culture. In the southwest, the Driftless Area escaped the flattening effects of the last continental glaciation, creating deeply cut river valleys and steep ridges.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
