About this map

Lake Winnebago dominates the western shoreline of this mid-1970s survey, where a series of small beach communities and landing points line the water's edge. The settlement of Brothertown and the nearby Brothertown Harbor anchor the northern coast, while the Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across the landscape, marking the historic division between Calumet and Fond du Lac counties. This boundary line passes through Calumetville and near the Buck Cemetery, reflecting the early administrative and surveying history of the region.

Further inland, the landscape transitions from the lakefront to the agricultural uplands of Marshfield and the headwaters of the Manitowoc River. Rural life is centered around local institutions like St Pauls Church and the Calumet School, while smaller hamlets like Jericho and Johnsburg serve as focal points for the surrounding farms. The detailed mapping of various family-named roads, such as Schumacher Road and Dick Road, provides a clear view of the established property and transport patterns of the era.
