About this map

The city of Gillett and the village of Suring anchor this Oconto County landscape, which is defined by a glacial topography of scattered lakes and winding watercourses. Significant water bodies like Christie Lake and Savage Lake are found near the southern town center, while Benz Lake and Klaus Lake dot the rural areas to the north. The drainage pattern of Daly Cr and Christie Brook flows through the township toward the Oconto River in the southeast corner.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several distinct burial grounds, including Maple Valley Cem, Mosling Cem, and the uniquely named Wanderer's Rest Cem. The road network is established by a grid of thoroughfares named for local families and landmarks, such as Hoyt Hill Rd, Mueller Hill Rd, and Trinity Church Rd. These rural routes connect agricultural lands with the established population centers, revealing a persistent pattern of upper Midwestern settlement.
