About this map

The Peshtigo River and Little Peshtigo River define the drainage patterns of this rural landscape where Marinette and Oconto counties meet. The terrain is characterized by a dense grid of local roads and sections, reflecting the organized agricultural and timber-driven settlement of northern Wisconsin. Several family-named and descriptive routes, such as Leslie Rd, Augustine Rd, and Red School Rd, indicate the historical placement of homesteads and former community landmarks.

This 2018 survey also tracks the smaller waterways that feed into the larger river systems, including Bundy Cr in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The road network, including arterial routes like Co Hwy W and Co Rd B, connects the scattered clearings and wooded parcels, providing a detailed record of modern land use and property boundaries in this transition zone between established farmsteads and the Wisconsin Northwoods.
