2015 Map of Birnamwood

About this map

The village of Birnamwood straddles the border of Marathon and Shawano counties, serving as a focal point for this rural Wisconsin landscape. To the south lies the settlement of Eland, connected by a network of local roads such as Birnamwood Rd and Co RD N. The area's history is preserved at the Saint Philomene Cem and the CO HWY N Forest Cem, providing valuable touchpoints for genealogists. Low-lying terrain and local hydrology are prominent features, with the Mattoon Swamp and the winding course of the Middle Branch Embarrass River shaping the environment. Smaller water bodies like Mud Lake, Mayflower Lake, and Packard Cr dot the countryside, while the Norrie Brook Airport provides a modern navigational landmark near Norrie Brook. This topographical layout illustrates the persistent intersection of timberland-inflected geography and small-town development in the north-central part of the state.
