About this map

Green Bay and its southeastern rural hinterlands are captured during a period of agricultural dominance and steady expansion. The landscape is defined by the Chicago and North Western railroad corridor, which serves as the economic spine for settlements like Bellevue, Pine Grove, and Denmark. This survey reveals a dense network of one-room schoolhouses and parish churches that anchored these Wisconsin communities, including the Bungalow Sch and Holy Trinity Ch.

Natural features such as Lilly Lake and the winding Devils River intersect with man-made landmarks like the Maribel Caves. The transition from the industrial fringes of Preble to the remote hamlets of Rosecrans and Greenstreet illustrates the mid-century spatial organization of Brown and Manitowoc counties. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting numerous local burial sites like the Little Irish Church Cem and Polish Cem near Hebel.
