2016 Map of Shreve

About this map

Shreve serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at the crossroads of Shreve Rd and several county routes. The surrounding area is defined by a series of glacial lakes and wetlands, including the expansive Funk Bottoms to the north and the Killbuck Swamp on the eastern edge. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous small burial grounds such as Ripley Township Cem, Manley Cem, and Newkirk Cem, which are scattered throughout the townships. Smaller settlements like Big Prairie and the lakeside community of Lakeland Beach on Odell Lake show the distribution of population outside the main village centers. Significant water features like Shreve Lake, Brown Lake, and Lake Wapusun punctuate the grid of township roads, illustrating the drainage patterns into Kiser Ditch and Shreve Cr.
