About this map

The Embarrass River winds southward through a landscape of wetlands and low hills to meet the Wolf River at the edge of New London. This 2016 survey illustrates the convergence of Waupaca and Outagamie counties, where the city's street grid gives way to a sprawling rural network of county roads and family-named landmarks. The topography is punctuated by prominent rises such as Mosquito Hill and Turney Hill, both of which host namesake burial grounds.

Genealogists can find several established cemeteries throughout the region, including Maple Creek Cem Number 1 and Maple Creek Cem Number 2, which serve the agricultural communities surrounding Sugar Bush. The map details a sophisticated drainage system defined by Bear Cr and Maple Cr, reflecting the vital role of water management in this river-valley terrain. From the established residential blocks of New London to the isolated farmsteads along Co Rd D and Co Rd WW, the layout reveals the enduring rural character of central Wisconsin.
