About this map

The New London city center occupies the southwest corner of this landscape, situated at the confluence where the Embarrass River meets the Wolf River. The surrounding terrain transitions from the urban grid into a complex network of wetlands and low-lying drainages, punctuated by distinct elevations such as Mosquito Hill and Turney Hill. These high points often served as logical sites for early community landmarks, evidenced by the presence of the Turney Hill Cem and Mosquito Hill Cem.

Rural life north of the city is anchored by the small settlement of Sugar Bush and a series of family-named burial grounds that speak to the area's genealogical depth. Researchers can trace land divisions and early road names like Breiting Rd and Hoffman Rd across the Waupaca and Outagamie county line. The map also identifies specific local sites like Maple Creek Cem Number 1 and Maple Creek Cem Number 2, which are critical for tracing the settlement patterns of the Bear Creek and Maple Creek basins.
