2010 Map of Bear Creek

About this map

The Embarrass River meanders sharply through this rural Wisconsin landscape, defining the character of the terrain between the settlements of Bear Creek and Bear Creek Corners. Located in a region shaped by agricultural tradition, the map reveals a network of country roads such as County Hwy-D and Deer Creek Rd that connect family farms to local centers of community and memory. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including Saint Catherine Cemetery, Restland Cemetery, and the Danish Cemetery, which serve as quiet markers of the area's diverse ethnic heritage. In the northern reaches, the Clintonville Municipal Airport introduces a modern utility to the area, while the Wolf River and Silver Creek provide essential drainage and natural borders for the surrounding townships. The intricate oxbows of the Embarrass River suggest a low-lying, water-rich environment that has long influenced local land use and transportation patterns.
