About this map

The Menominee Indian Reservation and the Stockbridge-Munsee lands meet in this heavily wooded region of Shawano County, defined by the intricate waterways of the Red River and its various branches. The local social and administrative heart is found at the Stockbridge-Munsee Indian Agency and the nearby Wilderness Ch, while the town of Bartelme serves as a settlement hub.

Logistics and transport are marked by an Old Railroad Grade winding through the south, cutting across Hennig Creek and Smith Creek. The landscape is dotted with numerous glacial features, from the eponymous Burney Lake and Hemlock Lake to the swampy reaches around Gold Creek and Silver Creek. Evidence of local industry appears in several Gravel Pits, while Red River Camp reflects the area's ongoing relationship with its timber and river resources.
