1961 Map of Eureka

About this map

Eureka sits at a prominent bend in the Fox River in this 1960s snapshot of Winnebago County. The landscape is defined by the river’s winding course, which creates features like Island Park and the marshy expanses of Hogers Bayou. To the north, the shoreline of Lake Poygan marks the edge of the survey area. The map reveals a densely organized rural community, evidenced by a high concentration of local schools and churches serving the surrounding townships of Poygan, Winneconne, and Rushford.
