2013 Map of Fahrney Point

About this map

Lake Winnebago dominates the eastern half of this 2013 survey, which documents the shoreline developments and underwater topography south of Oshkosh. The western edge of the lake is characterized by a series of residential landings and natural projections, including Fahrney Point, Point Comfort, and Black Wolf Point. The settlement of Decorah Beach sits at the center of this coastal stretch, illustrating the density of lakeside habitation in Winnebago County. Inland, the landscape is defined by the rural road network including Us-45 and E County Hwy-Z, which navigate the terrain around the lower reaches of Van Dyne Cr. The inclusion of bathymetric features like Long Point Reef and Abraham Reef offers a detailed view of the lakebed's structure, which is essential for understanding the local fishing and navigation history of the region.
