About this map

The Fox River flows through the heart of Omro, connecting this historic river town to the expansive waters of Lake Butte des Morts to the northeast. This 2016 survey highlights a landscape defined by the confluence of major waterways, including the Wolf River as it enters Lake Winneconne and passes through the village of Winneconne. The area between these settlements is a complex network of wetlands and points, such as Nickels Marsh and Quigleys Point, reflecting the region's enduring dependence on its aquatic geography.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, including the Omro Union Cem, Bell Cem, and the Village of Winneconne Cem. The map also captures the modern aviation character of the county with both the Courtney Plummer Airport and a dedicated Sky Diving Airport. Residential developments like Rivermoor, Harbor Springs, and Highland Shore trace the transition from older agricultural patterns toward waterfront-oriented communities.
