About this map

Manawa serves as the central hub of this Waupaca County landscape, situated where the Little Wolf River flows into Manawa Pond 275. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including Bear Lake, Mountain Lake, and Storm Lake. The map reveals a high density of rural burial sites that provide significant value for genealogical research, such as the Little Creek Cem and Baldwins Mill Cem.

One particularly distinct feature is the Waupaca County Poor Farm Cem, reflecting the social history of the region. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by the South Branch Little Wolf River and various tributaries like Little Cr. This survey documents a well-established rural road network, with routes like Co RD N and Co RD B connecting the scattered farmsteads and natural water bodies that characterize this part of central Wisconsin.
