Maple Works, Wisconsin

Maple Works, also called Mapleworks was a hamlet in the town of Grant, Clark County, Wisconsin, United States.

According to the tables contained in the 1895 The New 11 x 14 Atlas of the World (New York:Rand McNally Corporation, 1895), Maple Works had a population of 62, but it no longer has residents.

Maple Works was located a half mile east of the village of Granton at the corner of Fremont and Romandka Roads.

[1] In 1857, Nelson Marsh from Pennsylvania settled in the area, coming with an ox team by way of Sparta and cutting a temporary road through the forest.

The name was initially intended to be Maplewood, but because of unclear handwriting the application for a post office was interpreted as Mapleworks and so remained.
