About this map

Kewaunee sits at the meeting point of the Kewaunee River and Lake Michigan, serving as a focal point for this coastal Wisconsin landscape. The terrain is defined by its proximity to the lake and the winding paths of several water bodies, including Krok Cr, E Twin River, and the marshy Lipsky Swamp to the northwest. These waterways have historically influenced local development, from the settlement at East Krok to the more interior hamlets like Birchwood and Norman.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Holy Rosary Catholic Cem, Saint Peters Cem, and the West Kewaunee Township Cem. For those interested in the natural history of the area, the Ice Age National Scenic Trail winds through the northern sections, passing near Stump Pond and Seidel Lake, tracing the post-glacial topography of the Lake Michigan shoreline.
