About this map

The Oconto River winds through this Oconto County landscape, defining the transition between the rolling woodlands and the eastern boundary of the Menominee Indian Reservation. In the mid-1970s, the village of Suring stands as a primary hub in the northeast, supported by infrastructure like a local sewage disposal plant and nearby Radio Towers. The area is characterized by a high density of named country roads and small family-associated landmarks, reflecting a community rooted in timber and agriculture.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the placement of early congregations and burial grounds, including St Michaels Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem, alongside rural centers like Hintz and Underhill. The topography is dotted with glacial features, from the clear waters of Berry Lake and Moshawquit Lake to active extractive sites such as the numerous Sandpits and Gravel Pits found along the river valley and county lines.
