About this map

The Middle Branch Embarrass River and South Branch Embarrass River converge in this section of Shawano County, defining a landscape shaped by water and early industry. At the heart of the area, Wittenberg serves as a primary hub, featuring the Wittenberg 1885c235 Dam which creates Homme Pond 75. Nearby, the Homme Home for Boys stands as a notable local landmark.

Smaller settlements like Eland to the north and Elderon to the southwest anchor the rural road network, which includes bird-themed names like Nightingale Rd and Meadowlark Rd. Genealogy researchers can locate several burial grounds, including Bethany Cemetery, Holy Family Cemetery, and Eland Cemetery. The map also captures numerous smaller waterways such as Tiger Creek, Spranger Creek, and Beetle Creek, illustrating the complex drainage of the Central Wisconsin plains.
