About this map

Lake Winnebago dominates the landscape of this 2011 survey, defining the eastern boundary of the Black Wolf area. The shoreline is punctuated by a series of geographic landmarks, including Fahrney Point, Point Comfort, and Black Wolf Point, which overlook the submerged hazards of Long Point Reef and Abraham Reef. These features highlight the importance of the lake to the local identity and navigation, further emphasized by the presence of the Air Harbor Seaplane Base near the northern shore.

Residential and memorial sites are clustered along the western edge of the water, with the settlement of Decorah Beach providing a community anchor. Genealogists and local historians can find two significant burial grounds here: Oaklawn Cemetery and Knack Cemetery. The southern portion of the map is drained by Van Dyne Creek, showing the transition from the lake's edge to the rural roads like Lincoln Rd and E Lone Elm Ave that serve the interior countryside.
