2022 Map of Nichols

About this map

Nichols serves as the central hub of this agricultural and wetland landscape near the border of Shawano and Outagamie counties. The Shioc River meanders through the western portion of the quadrangle, defining the low-lying terrain that characteristically alternates between cultivated fields and extensive marshy pockets. This area, largely defined by the Public Land Survey System grid, shows a dense network of country roads such as Soo Line Rd and Old Hwy 47 that connect small crossroads settlements like Briarton and Cicero. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several established burial grounds, including Immanuel Lutheran Cem and the North Cicero Cem. The hydrology is dominated by small tributaries like Toad Cr and Black Cr, which drain the flat, fertile plains surrounding these rural Wisconsin communities.
