About this map

The Nicolet National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the South Branch Oconto River and its tributaries like Pecore Creek and Hayes Cr carve through the glacial terrain of Oconto County. Small settlements such as Breed and Bonita anchor the rural road network, while Suring sits at the southeastern edge along the river. The area is characterized by a high density of small lakes and ponds, including Chute Pond and Anderson Lake, reflecting the post-glacial hydrography typical of this region of Wisconsin.

Genealogists will find valuable location data at Union Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Riverside Cem. The presence of Piso Airport and numerous local timber-access roads like Brickyard Rd and Logan Rd suggests a landscape defined by forest management and small-scale aviation. The county line between Menominee Co and Oconto Co runs along the western margin, marking a transition in land administration and history.
