1973 Map of Antigo

About this map

Antigo serves as the focal point of this Langlade County study, where the city's residential and civic footprint is documented during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Eau Claire River and its branches, with Antigo Lake and Spring Brook providing a natural framework for the growing community. Significant social and educational infrastructure is visible, including the North Central Technical Institute and a concentration of parochial institutions such as St Hyacinths Sch and St Marys Sch. Outside the main settlement, the area transitions into rural townships like Peck and Neva, where older rural education sites like River Grove Sch and small communities such as Deerbrook and Neva Corners persist. The presence of the Chicago and North Western rail line and several gravel pits indicates the local industrial and transportation ties of the era.
