About this map

The North Branch Manitowoc River and the South Branch Manitowoc River converge in this corner of Calumet County, creating a landscape defined by extensive wetlands and conservation lands. The Killsnake State Wildlife Area and Hayton Marsh dominate the central and southern portions of the map, illustrating the preservation of large-scale marshlands in eastern Wisconsin during the late 20th century.

Settlement patterns are concentrated in small rural hubs like Potter, Hayton, and Wells. Genealogists will find notable sites such as the Rantoul Cemetery near the northern boundary and the Streckert Cemetery to the east. The map also documents the local road network named for area families, including Reimer Road, Schneider Road, and Ortlepp Road, which crisscross the agricultural lands surrounding the protected wildlife areas.
