About this map

Chilton serves as the primary hub in this Calumet County landscape, situated where the South Branch Manitowoc River feeds into the Chilton Millpond. The map illustrates a meticulously organized agricultural grid punctuated by smaller clusters like Brant and Gravesville. This 2016 survey documents a deep-rooted community structure through its numerous burial grounds, including the Portland Cem and Charlestown Cem, which often represent the early locations of pioneer families and long-standing parishes.

The winding course of the Killsnake River and the N Br Manitowoc River define the northern drainage, while specialized features like the Flying Feathers Airport highlight modern land use. For genealogists, the distribution of religious and civic landmarks like Saint Mary's Catholic Cem and Saint Luke Lutheran Cem provides essential points for tracing family lineages across Harrison and the surrounding townships.
