About this map

Lake Winnebago defines the landscape of this survey, where the western shoreline is shaped by a series of distinct geographic markers. From Streich Point and Fahrney Point in the north to the more southern Little Point, the coast is dotted with landings and residential developments along Fond Du Lac Rd. Submerged features such as Long Point Reef and Abraham Reef indicate the navigational complexities of the lake.

On the mainland, the settlement of Van Dyne serves as a small inland hub, with local heritage preserved at Oaklawn Cem and Knack Cem. The map illustrates a developed transition from the water's edge at Decorah Beach and Willow Harbor to the agricultural grid in the west, with Van Dyne Cr meandering toward the lake. The intersection of three county lines — Winnebago, Calumet, and Fond Du Lac — meets over the open water, highlighting the political boundaries that bisect this significant waterway.
