1974 Map of Byron

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Extensive limestone extraction and rail transport define the landscape of the Fond du Lac and Dodge County border in the mid-1970s. The village of Marblehead is dominated by local Quarry operations and Kilns, connected to the wider region via the Chicago and North Western railroad. To the west, the village of Hamilton sits near the Hamilton Oak Grove Cem, while Byron and South Byron serve as agricultural and transit hubs along the Soo Line. The terrain is marked by a clear transition from the marshy lowlands surrounding the East Branch Fond du Lac River and Parsons Creek to the more elevated grounds of the Empire township. Educational and social centers like St Johns Sch and Camp Byron indicate a well-established community fabric, while the northern waters of Lake De Neveu and Devils Lake offer a sharp contrast to the industrial pits and gravel operations scattered across the quadrangle.
