About this map

The city of Waupaca serves as the focal point of this Central Wisconsin region, situated at the confluence of the Waupaca River and several glacial lakes. The urban layout is well-defined by the Waupaca Post Office and residential neighborhoods extending toward Mirror Lake and Shadow Lake. Historically significant water infrastructure is evidenced by the Lighting Plant Dam and Felt Mill Dam, which speak to the area's early industrial reliance on its river systems.

South of the city, the landscape transitions into a network of smaller lakes and agricultural holdings, including Maple Lind Farm and the settlement of Little Hope along the Crystal River. The map provides a detailed view for genealogists, documenting numerous burial sites such as Saint Mary Magdalene Cemetery, Lakeside Cemetery, and Lind Center Cemetery. The presence of the Waupaca Municipal Airport to the east and the winding course of Walla Walla Creek further characterize this mix of small-town development and rural topography.
