2015 Map of Big Falls

About this map

The Little Wolf River and its various forks and tributaries define the geography of this Waupaca County landscape, carving through the terrain near the village of Big Falls. The river is impounded at the Big Falls Pond near the northern edge of the map, while further south, the Central County Airport and the village of Iola serve as local hubs. This 2015 survey reveals a mosaic of wetland basins and small glacial lakes, such as Hatch Lake, Kating Lake, and Goodhal Lake. Genealogy researchers will find several well-defined burial grounds including Big Falls Cem, Hitterdahl Cem, and Iola Cem, often located near primary township roads like Co Rd G and Co Rd C. The map illustrates a developed rural network where water courses like Whitcomb Cr and N Fork Blake Cr dictate the placement of local thoroughfares and homesteads.
