About this map

The Little Wolf River and the South Branch Embarrass River define the hydrography of this Wisconsin landscape, where four counties—Marathon, Shawano, Portage, and Waupaca—meet. The terrain is a complex mix of wooded lowlands and small agricultural clearings, dotted with gravel pits and drained by a dense network of streams including Comet Creek, Steinke Creek, and Bradley Creek. Small rural settlements like Norske and Wolf serve as local hubs for a road system that often follows township lines, such as Township Road and Franzen Road.
