1942 Map of Breed

About this map

Stephenson occupies the northeast corner of this 1940s advance sheet, representing a pocket of documented terrain amidst a significantly larger Unsurveyed Area. The topography is defined by the watercourses of Peshtigo Brook and the West Branch, which wind through the forested landscape of northern Wisconsin. This specific edition was compiled from aerial photographs and a field examination conducted just before the United States entered World War II. The map highlights the early administrative border between Oconto and Marinette counties, providing a rare look at these township lines and waterways before more modern, comprehensive surveys were completed.
