2016 Map of Black Creek

About this map

Black Creek serves as the primary hub in this portion of Outagamie County, situated at the junction of several key regional routes like Co RD B and W State ST. The landscape is defined by its agricultural grid and drainage system, with Black Cr and Duck Cr winding through the low-lying terrain. Significant for local historians, the area is dotted with small, crossroads communities such as Twelve Corners, Five Corners, and Binghamton. These settlements often grew around essential services or family farmsteads, and their enduring presence is marked by several burial grounds including Saint Petri Cem and Sassman Cem. The map illustrates the persistent 19th-century township and range system, with boundaries like t23n r17e clearly delineated. This 2016 survey reflects a landscape where rural heritage and modern infrastructure intersect, preserved through generations of family-named roads like Genske RD and Kringle RD.
