About this map

The Wolf River winds through a complex network of bayous and wetlands in this 1969 survey, defining the landscape of southeastern Waupaca County. This hydraulic labyrinth includes named waterways such as Little Horseshoe Bayou, Lowell Bayou, and Traders Bayou, which transition into larger bodies like Cincoe Lake and Partridge Crop Lake. The village of Fremont sits at a critical bend in the river, supported by the Soo Line railroad and the Fremont (Station).

Evidence of local community life is found in sites like the Rawhide Boys Camp and Pioneer Camp, alongside several historic cemeteries such as St Pauls Cem and St John B Cem. To the east, the settlements of Readfield and North Readfield anchor the town of Caledonia, while the northern reach is dominated by the Mukwa State Wildlife Area. This map documents a period of transition, with purple photorevisions from 1975 indicating new gravel pits and local road developments like Lietzke Road and Brehmer Road.
