About this map

The meandering Wolf River defines this portion of Waupaca County, carving a complex network of waterways including Little Horseshoe Bayou, Colic Bayou, and the sharp turn at Devils Elbow. The landscape is a mix of expansive wetlands and established rural communities, with the southern outskirts of New London appearing in the north and the village of Readfield anchoring the eastern side. The river's influence is evident in the numerous cut-offs and islands, such as Little Boom Island, which highlight the shifting nature of the local hydrology.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, from Floral Hill Cem and Most Precious Blood Cem near the city to the Pioneer Cem further south. The transportation network is a blend of traditional county roads like Co RD W and aviation history represented by Curns Airport. Smaller settlements like North Readfield and Red Banks provide a look at the residential patterns that have persisted alongside the river's backwaters and lakes like Partridge Crop Lake.
