1954 Map of Denmark

About this map

Brown and Manitowoc counties meet in this mid-century survey, where the Chicago and North Western railway cuts a diagonal path toward the expanding outskirts of Green Bay. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of local township schools and country churches that anchored rural life in the 1950s, such as the Spring Creek Sch and Holy Trinity Ch. The map captures a transition in land use, from the agricultural fields surrounding Denmark and Morrison to the industrial and commercial signals near the city, including a Drive-in Theater and several Gravel Pits.
