About this map

The Embarrass River meanders across this landscape, defining the character of the namesake village of Embarrass and the surrounding township of Belle Plaine. This 2010 survey details a region defined by its complex hydrology and agricultural layout, where the river system is joined by Matteson Creek, Beaver Creek, and the Wolf River in the southeast. Significant for genealogists, the map identifies several local burial grounds including Friendship Cemetery, Bomke Cemetery, Saint Peter Cemetery, Zion Cemetery, and Greenwood Cemetery.

A cluster of glacial lakes provides a focal point for local geography, particularly around Adams Beach. This area features a high density of named water bodies such as Round Lake, Grass Lake, Pine Lake, Long Lake, and Schoenick Lake. The grid of rural roads, including Mill Creek Rd and Pella Opening Rd, provides a clear view of how these settlements integrated with the wetlands and river bends of Waupaca and Shawano counties.
