1969 Map of Readfield
USGS Topo · Published 1991About this map
The Wolf River snakes through this portion of Waupaca County, creating a complex hydrologic landscape defined by countless backwaters and oxbows. These water features, including Horseshoe Bayou, Colic Bayou, and Templeton Bayou, speak to the shifting nature of the river's path over time. Settlement is concentrated around the community of Fremont and the village of Readfield, while the northern reaches are dominated by the Mukwa State Wildlife Area. Cultural life is marked by several long-standing local cemeteries such as St Pauls Cem and Pioneer Cem. The presence of the Soo Line railroad and numerous sand and gravel operations, including several Gravel Pits and a Quarry, point to a local economy historically tied to both transportation and resource extraction from the glacial soils.
