About this map

The Embarrass River winds through this Central Wisconsin landscape, defining the character of the borderlands between Shawano and Waupaca counties. The village of Embarrass serves as the central hub, situated near the confluence of Matteson Cr and the main river channel. To the south, the northern edge of Clintonville appears, showing the transition from municipal outskirts to the agricultural and wetland tracts that dominate the quadrangle.

Genealogists will find several distinct burial sites including Saint Peter Cem, Zion Cem, and Greenwood Cem, which anchor the local rural communities. The eastern half of the map is punctuated by several glacial water bodies, such as Round Lake, Pine Lake, and Schoenick Lake, while the Wolf River meanders through the southeastern corner. This survey documents the established township and range system (T26N and T25N) and the localized settlement at Adams Beach during the early 21st century.
