About this map

Aniwa and Elmhurst serve as the primary nodes of settlement in this northern Wisconsin landscape where the borders of Langlade, Marathon, and Shawano counties converge. The terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the winding Eau Claire River in the northwest and the Middle Br Embarrass River to the east. Large wetland areas like Mattoon Swamp dominate the southern reaches, contrasting with the structured agricultural grid and rural roads that connect local landmarks.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds across the townships, from the Saint Boniface Cem near Aniwa to the Hall Pioneer Cem and Rolling Cem further north. The map also traces a segment of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail as it follows the course of the Plover River, illustrating how modern recreational corridors overlay the older settlement patterns and natural drainage systems of the region.
