1974 Map of Fahrney Point

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Lake Winnebago dominates this 1970s survey, illustrating the mid-century development of the western shoreline south of Oshkosh. The landscape is characterized by a series of residential and recreational developments concentrated along the water's edge, including Decorah Beach and Point Comfort. Inland, the map reveals a transition into agricultural land, marked by a precise grid of rural roads such as Koelpin Road and Lone Elm Ave. Local landmarks like the Jesuit Retreat near Fahrney Point and Oaklawn Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The presence of numerous boat ramps and Willow Harbor underscores the area's long-standing identity as a hub for water-based recreation, while offshore features like Long Point Reef and Abraham Reef reflect the complex bathymetry that has historically challenged navigators on Wisconsin's largest inland lake.
