About this map

Wittenberg stands as the primary hub in this Shawano County landscape, where the Middle Branch Embarrass River and Tiger Cr shape the terrain. The 2013 survey illustrates a transition between the clustered settlement of Eland near Norrie Brook Airport and the smaller village of Elderon to the southwest. This area is characterized by its complex hydrology, with the S Br Embarrass River winding through the central region and feeding several local water bodies including Wilson Lake and Lilly Lake.

A notable cultural landmark, the Homme Home for Boys, is situated near Homme Pond, reflecting the community's local institutional history. The map detail highlights an extensive network of rural roads such as Co HWY-Oo and Co HWY-Q that connect scattered farmsteads and timber tracts. The intersection of modern transportation routes like Us-45 and Wi-29 demonstrates how the region evolved into a cross-road for central Wisconsin commerce.
