About this map

Manawa serves as the primary hub of this East Central Wisconsin landscape, situated along the banks of the Little Wolf River where it widens into Manawa Pond. The surrounding geography is defined by a dense network of water bodies, from larger basins like Bear Lake and White Lake to smaller wetlands including Vesey Lake and Mountain Lake. The drainage pattern of the South Branch Little Wolf River carves through the southern portion of the sheet, revealing the glacial hydrology of Waupaca County.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several significant burial grounds, including the Union and Little Wolf cemeteries near the town center. Of particular historical note is the Waupaca County Poor Farm Cemetery located to the southeast, reflecting 19th and early 20th-century social history. Further out, rural landmarks like Baldwins Mill Cemetery and Little Creek Cemetery mark the intersections of early settlements and family farmsteads.
