2015 Map of New Franken

About this map

The coastal waters of Lake Michigan meet the agricultural interior of Brown and Kewaunee Counties at Point Comfort. This transition is defined by the steep bluffs of Green Bay and the lowland drainages of the New Franken Swamp. The landscape reflects a deeply rooted rural community, organized around early crossroads settlements like New Franken and Champion. The density of religious and family landmarks is particularly striking, with numerous burial grounds such as Saint Kilian Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and the Seventh-day Adventist Cem serving as anchors for the local genealogy. Transport in the region is a mix of traditional farm-to-market roads and specialized hubs like Nicolet Airport, while the northern reaches include seasonal retreats at Edgewater Beach and Benderville. Waterways like the Kewaunee River and Gilson Cr carve through the glacial till, shaping the boundaries of local townships.
