About this map

Manawa serves as the central hub of this Waupaca County landscape, situated where the Little Wolf River is impounded to form Manawa Pond 275. The settlement pattern follows a grid around Union St and N Bridge St, showing the town's development north of the river. To the southwest, the smaller community of Baldwins Mill sits along the South Branch Little Wolf River, representing a more dispersed residential character typical of the region's agricultural roots.

The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense concentration of glacial water bodies, including Bear Lake, Vesey Lake, and the remote Storm Lake to the north. These lakes, connected by minor drainages like Mouse Cr and Little Cr, create a fragmented landscape where local transit relies on a network of county highways such as Cohwy-B. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of how these water systems dictate the placement of roads and homesteads throughout the township.
