About this map

Birnamwood and Eland anchor this central Wisconsin landscape at the border of Marathon and Shawano counties. The village of Birnamwood displays a clear street grid featuring Elm St, Birch St, and Maple St, while the community of Eland sits to the south near the Norrie Brook Airport. The area is defined by a complex drainage network where the Middle Branch Embarrass River and Elmhurst Cr wind through terrain dotted with significant wetlands, most notably the expansive Mattoon Swamp in the north.

Genealogical interest is found at Saint Philomene Cem and Forest Cem, located along the rural roads connecting these settlements. The map details a transition from organized village life to the surrounding marshlands and creeks like Norrie Brook and Packard Cr. This documentation shows how 21st-century infrastructure, such as Co Hwy N and State Rd, integrates with the natural water features like Mud Lake that have long shaped the local geography.
