1959 Map of Allenton

About this map

Allenton serves as a central hub for this portion of Washington County, situated where the East Branch Rock River meets the local transportation network. The landscape is defined by the glacial geography of eastern Wisconsin, featuring a dense concentration of Gravel Pits and the extensive Wayne Marsh to the north. These terrain features influenced the settlement patterns of rural communities like Kohlsville and St Anthony, which maintained their own small-scale institutions such as the Kohlsville Sch and Zion Sch. To the southeast, the shoreline of Cedar Lake is marked by early development at Linden Point and Point Lookout, contrasting with the more industrial extraction sites scattered throughout Addison and Wayne townships. For aviation history, the Sky Ranch Landing Field provides a specific look at mid-century private airfield infrastructure in the region.
