About this map

The Little Wolf River and its South Branch define the landscape around the village of Manawa, where the waterway widens into the Manawa Pond. This central Wisconsin region is characterized by a high density of small lakes and wetlands, including Bear Lake, Mountain Lake, and Vesey Lake, which sit amidst a grid of rural roads like Co Rd N and Green Valley Rd.

Genealogists will find significant local history preserved in the area's numerous burial grounds. Beyond the standard township plots like Little Creek Cemetery and Little Wolf Cemetery, the presence of the Waupaca County Poor Farm Cemetery provides a specific connection to the county's social history and the 19th-century systems for supporting the indigent. Scattered family-named landmarks, such as Baldwins Mill Cemetery, further ground the map in the early settlement era of Waupaca County.
