2022 Map of Lake Poygan

About this map

Lake Poygan and its intricate northern wetlands dominate this 2022 survey of the Winnebago and Waupaca county line. The Wolf River snakes south from Fremont, feeding into Norwegian Bay and creating a complex network of channels and backwaters such as Pages Slough and Boom Bay. On the northern shores, the small settlements of Orihula and Zittau serve as historical anchors for the surrounding agricultural lands. Genealogists can trace several local burial sites, including River Cem, Becker Cem, and the Saint Peters Lutheran Cem located on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The map also detail the southern reaches where the lake narrows toward Lake Winneconne, featuring landmarks like Lone Willow Island and Clarks Point. This modern topographic study reveals how the hydrology of the Fox River Valley continues to shape the residential and rural patterns of central Wisconsin.
