About this map

Whitelaw and the surrounding Manitowoc County countryside are defined by a network of rural hamlets and agricultural crossroads in this 2010 survey. The landscape is interconnected by the Branch River and Kriwanek Creek, which flow through a region punctuated by small community centers like Kellnersville, Cato, and the historic site of Reifs Mills. These settlements often revolve around traditional local landmarks, such as Saint Michaels Catholic church and its associated Saint Michaels Catholic Cemetery.

The map reveals a deeply rooted local history through its numerous burial grounds, including Kossuth Cemetery and Cato Heights Cemetery, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. To the south, the Manitowoc River clips the corner of the quadrangle near the community of Branch, where the Branch Evergreen Cemetery sits overlooking the water. The survey captures the area's transition from traditional rural townships into the early 21st century, maintaining a high density of named roads and family-linked features.
