About this map

Marion sits as the primary hub in this Waupaca County landscape, situated where the Big Pigeon River feeds into Marion Pond. The area is characterized by its intricate water network, featuring the Middle Branch Embarrass River and South Branch Embarrass River in the north near the settlement of Caroline. This river system supported early local industry, evidenced by the formation of Caroline Pond.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data through the numerous burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Saint Marys Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Roseland Cem. Farther west, the small community of Hunting marks the transition into more lacustrine terrain, where water bodies like Kinney Lake, Keller Lake, and Long Lake define the southern landscape. The division between Shawano and Waupaca counties cuts through the center of the map, highlighting the administrative boundaries that shaped local development.
