How accurate are Winnebago County, WI property lines?
A Winnebago County plat map is built for assessment, not construction. In Winnebago County, as in most places, the lines are a best fit of old deed calls onto modern aerial photos. Wisconsin uses the Public Land Survey System, so rural deeds in Winnebago County often describe land by section, township and range, and you can match the call to the grid on the map. For rural ground near Waukau, a recorded survey or a new one is the only reliable source for the true line.

Wooded parcels between Winneconne and Menasha may be managed timber, so read the aerial history before you assume a tract is untouched.
