About this map

Waupaca and the adjacent community of King anchor this detailed study of the central Wisconsin landscape, where the Waupaca River and Crystal River wind through a dense cluster of glacial lakes. The map documents several significant local landmarks, including the Waupaca Municipal Airport and the smaller Northern Lite Airport to the south. The area's commemorative history is well-preserved through numerous sites such as Saint Mary Magdalene Cem, Lakeside Memorial Park, and Spencer Lake Memorial Cem.

The southern reaches of the quadrangle transition into a more rural, water-rich environment characterized by Walla Walla Cr and Austin Cr. This terrain is dotted with small lakes like Gooseneck Lake, McLean Lake, and Spencer Lake, showing a pattern of long-standing rural cemetery placements like Lind Center Cem and Cedar Cem. The topographic detail also highlights High Point Ridge and the settlement at Little Hope, reflecting the area's mix of municipal growth and small-town persistence.
