About this map

The Wolf River meanders southward through this portion of Winnebago County, feeding into the expansive waters of Lake Poygan and Lake Winneconne. This riparian landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where Pages Slough and the Rat River converge near the small settlement of Zittau. The area around Orihula serves as a focal point for river traffic and lakeside life, characterized by a network of local roads such as Arrowhead Rd and Riverview Dr that trace the water's edge.

Distinctive shoreline features provide a sense of place for local history researchers, including Old Indian Point and Clarks Point. The presence of Boom Island and Lone Willow Island within the major lakes highlights the shifting delta environment of the river mouth. This survey documents the modern rural layout of the region, from the wetlands of Alder Cr to the agricultural tracts bisected by Co Hwy-II and Wi-96.
