1960 Map of Elkhorn

About this map

Elkhorn serves as a central hub in Walworth County, its grid of streets concentrated around the County Fairground and essential community landmarks like the Armory and Central Sch. The surrounding landscape is defined by the transition from agricultural fields to the recreational shores of Delavan Lake, where the Lake Lawn Country Club and Lake Lawn Airstrip indicate the area's mid-century development as a leisure destination. Scattered crossroads like Tibbets and Abells Corners preserve the rural character of the county, while the Chicago Milwaukee ST Paul And Pacific railroad provides a vital industrial artery through the terrain.
