2013 Map of Appleton

About this map

The Fox River corridor anchors this modern study of Outagamie County, showing the northern reaches of a growing city at the start of the 2010s. The dense residential and commercial grid of northern Appleton transitions into agricultural land and smaller named communities, providing a clear view of the urban-rural interface. Notable municipal infrastructure, such as the Appleton Water Works, sits along the river, while the outskirts are marked by long-standing landmarks like Schabo's Hillside Orchard and small settlements including Mackville and Hamples Corner. The map tracks the drainage patterns of Bear Creek and Mud Creek as they weave through developing neighborhoods like Whispering Pines and Bell Heights. This era of documentation is particularly useful for observing how modern road networks, including State Road 47 and County Highway A, have shaped the expansion of these Fox Cities communities.
