About this map

Glacial geology defines the landscape of Fond du Lac County in the mid-1970s, where the Campbellsport Drumlins rise distinctly within the Ice Age National Scientific Reserve. This glacial legacy is further evidenced by the numerous Gravel Pits scattered across the township of Eden. The Chicago and North Western railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain, connecting the village of Eden to the broader regional network while skirting the edge of Twin Lakes.

Rural life is anchored by a series of long-standing parish and family sites, including St Marys Cem, St Johns Cem, and Odekirk Cem. To the east, the headwaters of the Sheboygan River and the expansive McCoul lough Marsh in the town of Auburn represent the area's natural drainage patterns. The map also captures the smaller settlements of Dotyville and Waucousta, preserving the mid-century road names like Birch Road and Sunset Drive.
