About this map

The Red River and Wolf River converge in this section of Shawano County, defining a landscape shaped by water and agriculture in the early 21st century. The settlement of Thornton sits central to a network of county highways and local roads, illustrating the area's rural character. A series of distinct water features, including Freeman Falls, Gilmer Falls, and Little Bull Falls, are visible along the upper reaches of the Red River, marking significant elevation changes in the local hydrology.

Agricultural and logistical operations are well-documented on the terrain, from the Krueger Dairy Farm and Hanauer's Tree Farms to aviation at Dillenburg's Airport. The map also captures several smaller tributaries like Kroenke Cr and Rose Brook as they navigate the local topography. This layout reflects a modern Wisconsin landscape where traditional dairy farming and forestry intersect with established transport corridors like Wi-29.
