About this map

Nichols and Cicero are the primary hubs of activity in this rural Outagamie County landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by a series of named creeks and a winding river system. The Shioc River meanders through the western portion of the region, joined by smaller tributaries like Mink Cr and Herman Cr. The town of Briarton sits to the north, while Navarino occupies the northwestern corner, connected by a network of local roads that follow section lines.

Evidence of the area's development is seen in the naming of transportation routes such as Soo Line Rd, hinting at the region's rail history. The local community structure is anchored by landmarks such as Union Cemetery Rd and a dense network of family-named roads like Krull Rd and Meuleman Rd, which provide valuable location data for genealogists tracing ancestral property in this part of Wisconsin. The southern terrain is drained by Toad Cr and Black Creek, illustrating the well-watered nature of the farmland.
