2013 Map of Embarrass

About this map

The village of Embarrass serves as a central hub in this survey, situated where the meandering Embarrass River meets a network of local roads including W Main St and Grand Ave. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with the river's winding oxbows and tributaries like Matteson Cr creating a varied topography north of State Road 156. Further east, a cluster of glacial lakes—including Round Lake, Grass Lake, and Pine Lake—draws the eye toward the settlement of Adams Beach. This area reflects a quiet, lake-front character, while to the north, the community of Belle Plaine stands amidst the agricultural parcels of Waupaca County. The eastern edge of the map is bordered by the Wolf River, highlighting the region's importance as a watershed. Local history researchers will find value in the specific road names like Warren Hansen Dr and Kleiner Rd, which often signal family-held land and early local transit routes.
