About this map

The Manitowoc River meanders through this portion of Manitowoc County, anchoring the small settlement of Clarks Mills. The landscape is defined by its glacial heritage, dotted with kettle lakes such as English Lake, Schisel Lake, and Carstens Lake. This 2022 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural character of the region, where the road network often aligns with original section lines, connecting established hamlets like Madsen, Valders, and Newtonburg.

For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly useful for locating denominational landmarks and burial grounds. Significant sites include Saint Mary Cem, Gjerpen Cem, and the Saint John's Lutheran Cem. The proximity of Silver Cr and Pine Cr to these early settlements reflects the importance of water access for the nineteenth-century pioneers who established these rural parishes and community centers.
