About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the eastern horizon of this Oconto County landscape, where the waters of Green Bay meet a coastline marked by low-lying wetlands and river mouths. The Oconto River flows through the northern reaches near the Oconto-J Douglas Bake Memorial Airport, while the Pensaukee River winds eastward toward the settlement of Pensaukee. This area reflects a long-standing relationship between the land and the bay, with small communities like Brookside and Oak Orchard situated along a network of country roads such as Old State Rd and Co Hwy S.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Brookside Cem near the junction of Brookside Cr and the main highway. The drainage patterns of Kirchner Cr and the Little River illustrate the hydrology of the western bay shore. The map details a transition from the agricultural interior to the coastal marshes, preserving the placement of family-named routes like Liegeois Rd and Dittman Ln as they appeared in the early 21st century.
