2015 Map of Valders

About this map

The Manitowoc River meanders through this landscape of Manitowoc County, where the village of Valders serves as a primary center for the surrounding agricultural area. Further west, the Collins Marsh Reservoir dominates the terrain, illustrating the significant role of water management and conservation in this part of Wisconsin. The smaller community of Collins sits just southwest of the reservoir, while St. Nazianz occupies the southern portion of the sheet near Lake Oschwald. A network of rural roads, including Poplar Grove Rd and Clarks Mills Rd, connects scattered farmsteads and points of local heritage. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including Saint Peters Evangelical Lutheran Cem and Tyler Cem. The presence of Windhaven Airport and Quarry Lake further defines the modern use of the land, balancing local transport and industry with the natural drainage patterns of Mud Creek.
