A Sheboygan County township map answers two different questions around Adell: which local township a property sits in, and where it falls on the survey grid. Here's how to see township lines for Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, on free official maps.
Civil townships vs. survey townships
The named townships on a county map are civil townships, and a parcel near Cedar Grove belongs to exactly one of them. Rural land in Sheboygan County comes from the Public Land Survey System, where a boundary survey township is about 6 miles square, split into 36 sections of about 640 acres.
Finding the tract on the Sheboygan County map
The county's own public map is the Sheboygan County ArcGIS parcel map, built on an Esri ArcGIS web map, and it opens without an account for parcels in Adell and the rest of the county. Use the search box for an address in Adell or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a parcel near Elkhart Lake.

Using the Sheboygan County parcel viewer as a Sheboygan County township map

How the survey grid is numbered
Near Elkhart Lake, section 1 sits in the northeast corner of a boundary survey township, and the numbering ends at 36 in the southeast corner.
