About this map

Birnamwood serves as the central hub of this 1982 landscape straddling the Marathon Co Shawano Co line. The village is defined by its position along the Chicago and North Western railroad, which runs south toward the corporate boundary of Eland. This survey captures the rural character of the region through its religious and civic sites, including St Philomena Cem and the Townhall located near the intersection of Townline Road and Phoebe Road.

The hydrography is dominated by the Embarrass River and its Middle Branch, along with the expansive Mattoon Swamp to the north. These wetlands and water bodies, such as Mayflower Lake and Mud Lake, illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the area. Numerous Gravel Pit operations are scattered across the terrain, particularly near Packard Creek, indicating the local extraction industries that operated alongside traditional agriculture during the early 1980s.
