About this map

The Fox River anchors this mid-century survey of Brown County, bisecting the twin communities of De Pere and West De Pere. The landscape reveals a transition from the dense urban corridor of Green Bay and Allouez in the north to the agricultural expanses of Lawrence and Rockland. Religious and educational institutions are prominent, notably the riverside campus of St Norbert College and several parochial schools like St Marys Sch.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is well-defined, with the Chicago and North Western and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads following the river's path. Local heritage is preserved through numerous family and community landmarks, including the Hickory Grove Sanatorium and the site of the Klipstine Sch (Abandoned). The southern reaches of the map highlight the river's lower elevation at Little Rapids and the forested grounds of Lost Dauphin State Park.
