About this map

Fish Creek and its many tributaries wind through the agricultural landscape of Evergreen, Crystal, Bushnell, and Bloomer townships during the late 1960s. The region is dotted with several small glacial lakes, including Muskrat Lake, Mud Lake, and Cedar Lake in the north, while Hammell Lake and Pickerel Lake occupy the southern reaches. The settlement of Vickeryville serves as a local hub, accompanied by the Vickeryville Cem to the south.

Evidence of the local dairy economy appears with the Condensery located along the township lines, while a network of country roads like Grand Trunk Road and Holland Lake Road connects the scattered farmsteads. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on this sheet, including Bloomer Cem, Butke Cem, and the Oaklawn Ch Cem near the southern border. Numerous Gravel Pits indicate the era's ongoing material extraction throughout the river valleys.
