About this map

The Little Wolf River meanders sharply through the southern reaches of this landscape, joining the larger Wolf River near the historic riverfront community of Northport. This area of Waupaca County exhibits a pattern of small settlements tied to the river system, including Royalton and Ostrander. The topography is defined by significant wetland complexes and small kettle lakes such as Driscoll Lake, Flynn Lake, and Butler Lake, which intersperse the agricultural fields and timbered lots.

Genealogists will find several notable burial grounds mapped in detail, including the Royalton Cem, Saint Patrick Cem, and the Old Ostrander Cem. The map also captures modern land use, showing the Black Dog Farm Airport in the north and the western outskirts of New London in the southeast. The distinctive river geography is further highlighted by local landmarks like Shirtail Bend, illustrating the deep connection between the local community and the river's winding course.
