The 1983 redistricting, passed by the Legislature, superseded the court-ordered plan and moved the 4th district back to northeast Wisconsin, but it now spanned a vast—mostly rural—stretch of Oconto, Shawano, and Outagamie counties. That map remained until the 1992 redistricting, which moved the 4th district back into suburban Brown County, where it has remained through subsequent redistrictings, with some variation in the boundaries and municipalities included.
