About this map

Briggsville sits at the junction of several vital waterways in this mid-1970s survey, where the South Branch Neenah Creek flows from the eastern end of Mason Lake. The surrounding landscape is a complex network of glacial topography, featuring numerous kettle lakes and marshes such as Amey Pond, Little Lake, and McCall Lake. Evidence of the local dairy economy is preserved with the sighting of a Cheese Factory south of the main settlement near Greenwood Cem.

The map details a transitional area spanning the borders of Adams, Marquette, and Columbia counties. Agricultural and industrial activity is noted through scattered resource extraction sites like a Sandpit and Gravel Pit. Further east, the Douglas Ch serves as a community landmark among the drainage patterns of Neenah Creek and the meandering Big Slough, illustrating the rural development of central Wisconsin during this era.
