2018 Map of Embarrass

About this map

The confluence of the Embarrass River and Matteson Cr anchors the village of Embarrass in this 2018 survey. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, where the Wolf River snakes through the eastern wetlands while the Pigeon River flows through the southern outskirts of Clintonville. This area, split by the Shawano Co / Waupaca Co line, reveals a pattern of rural development centered around small water bodies like Wagner Lake, Long Lake, and Pine Lake. Researchers will find several distinct burial grounds, including Friendship Cem, Bomke Cem, and Greenwood Cem, which serve as vital markers for local family histories. The presence of Adams Beach on the shores of Grass Lake suggests a community shaped by both agricultural industry and the recreational value of the northern Wisconsin lake country.
