2010 Map of Thornton

About this map

The settlement of Thornton sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned where the Red River begins its winding southeastern course toward a confluence with the larger Wolf River. This geography is defined by its moving water, notably at Freeman Falls, Gilmer Falls, and Little Bull Falls, which signify the descent of the river system through central Wisconsin. Infrastructure for water management and aviation is evident through the Weed 2WP1507 Dam on the Red River and the Upper Shawano WP250 Dam to the east, while Dillenburgs Airport provides a grounded reference point for local aviation history. The grid of rural roads, such as County Hwy-A and Range Line Rd, connects the scattered farmsteads and woodlands between these waterways and smaller drainages like Kroenke Creek and Rose Brook.
