1961 Map of Auroraville

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Poy Sippi and Auroraville anchor this early 1960s survey of eastern Waushara County, where the landscape is defined by the hydrologic transition toward Lake Poygan. The map documents a rural economy still closely tied to its water resources, featuring a Cranberry Bog south of the Willow Creek bottomlands and a Mill Pond at Auroraville. The drainage network, including Pumpkinseed Creek and the Pine River, feeds into the expansive Poygan Marsh, illustrating the complex wetland environment of the Poygan and Rushford borderlands. Genealogists will find significant local value in the clearly marked rural burial grounds such as Sheads Island Cem and Welsh Cem, alongside community centers like Immanuel Ch and Trinity Ch. Numerous gravel pits and sandpits scattered throughout the townships indicate the localized extractive industry supporting the area's road development at this time.
