WISCONSIN DRAINAGE DISTRICTS DISCLAIMER

This map shows the approximate boundaries and status of drainage districts in Wisconsin. It is intended for general reference, rather than site-specific uses. Drainage district boundary data was obtained and compiled from multiple county and Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) sources. If available, spatial data from counties was provided in various formats, coordinate systems, and scales, and was of varying ages. To the extent possible, county data was verified against official DATCP records and discrepancies resolved. Drainage district boundaries and status are updated on an “as needed” basis.

This dataset is not an authoritative source of information about legal land ownership, parcel boundaries, or public access. DATCP does not guarantee the accuracy, applicability for a particular use, completeness, or legality of data provided by other sources. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made regarding the accuracy or utility of this data.  Additional information can be found on the DATCP Legal Notice page

Questions regarding a specific drainage district, the location of a land parcel within a drainage district, or fees assessed for specific parcels should be directed to the appropriate local drainage board or county department. Where drainage district boundaries cross county lines, the county in which the majority of the drainage district exists has jurisdiction over the entire drainage district. General technical or legal questions regarding drainage districts or this data layer should be directed to the State Drainage Engineer at:
