2013 Map of New Franken

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the northwestern edge of this landscape, where the coastal bluff of Red Banks and the lookout at Point Comfort overlook the water. The inland terrain is defined by a dense grid of farm-to-market roads and the headwaters of the Kewaunee River, which drains the agricultural heartland of Brown County. Scattered throughout this rural area are small crossroads communities and family-run operations like Cornette Dairy and Sugar Maple Dairy, reflecting the region's enduring dairy farming heritage. The settlement pattern is anchored by the historic village of New Franken at the junction of Wi-54 and N New Franken Rd. To the south, the community of Sugar Bush sits along the southern map boundary, while the Nicolet Airport serves the local aviation needs of this well-connected agricultural corridor near the Green Bay shoreline.
