1968 Map of Coloma NW

About this map

Holliday Cemetery and Coloma-Leola Cemetery stand as quiet landmarks within this rural landscape of central Wisconsin during the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by a dense grid of alphabetized and named thoroughfares, such as Akron Drive and Apache Avenue, which segment the townships of Rome, Leola, and Colburn. Waterways including Fourteenmile Creek and the winding Roche a Cri Creek flow through the marshy lowlands and wooded tracts, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped local land use. Distinctive geological features like Owens Rock and Keystone Rock provide vertical contrast to the surrounding flats. This survey, conducted as modern roadway planning began to formalize the rural grid, offers a precise record of property divisions and natural features before further residential and agricultural development altered the character of the Adams County and Portage County borderlands.
