About this map

The Wolf River and Embarrass River dominate this 2013 topographic landscape, converging just south of New London. The intricate meanders of the Embarrass River create a complex wetland pattern north of the city, illustrating the hydrologic character of this part of Wisconsin. Settlement is concentrated in the urban grid of New London, while the outlying areas like Sugar Bush maintain a rural, agricultural layout defined by straight section roads such as Co Hwy-D and Breiting Rd.

Elevated landmarks rise above the river plains, specifically Mosquito Hill and Turney Hill, providing local relief in an otherwise low-lying area. Transportation and local aviation are represented by the presence of Wolfgram Airport and a network of county highways. This survey records the contemporary relationship between these two major river systems and the communities that developed around their confluence.
