2015 Map of Shepley

About this map

The Middle Branch Embarrass River winds through this section of Shawano County, defining a landscape marked by small agricultural settlements and a dense network of country roads. The community of Shepley sits in the northern reaches, while Whitcomb and the intersection at Five Corners serve as local landmarks further south. Numerous small waterways, including Tiger Cr, Beetle Cr, and Simpson Cr, drain the terrain, illustrating the hydrological complexity of the region. The road system is particularly detailed, preserving names like School House Rd and Wittibirn Townline Rd, which suggest the historic placement of local institutions and the boundaries of early townships. This survey captures the rural character of the area, where family-named routes such as Marquardt Ln and Pingel Ln connect dispersed homesteads to the primary thoroughfares.
