About this map

The Embarrass River and Wolf River dominate this mid-century landscape where agricultural townships meet significant marshlands. The mapping of the 1950s reveals a transition in rural education, marking numerous defunct institutions like the Sunset View Sch and Coffee Bridge Sch. These sites, along with active nodes like the Clintonville Airport, reflect the post-war shifts in local infrastructure.

Genealogists will find a high density of small religious and burial sites, including the Danish Cem, Zion Cem, and St Wenceslaus Ch. In the northern section, leisure and industry intersect at Pine Lake and Adams Beach, while the surrounding timber and wetlands are crisscrossed by rail lines like the Chicago and Northwestern. An Old Grade provides evidence of former transport routes no longer in active use by the mid-1950s.
