1955 Map of Fond Du Lac

About this map

Lake Winnebago dominates the northern half of this landscape, its southern shoreline defining the urban and industrial layout of Fond du Lac and North Fond du Lac. The mid-1950s infrastructure is captured in detail, showing a dense network of educational and religious institutions including Marian College, Winnebago Academy, and Mt Marys Springs Academy. The rail-centric character of the era is evident through the extensive facilities of the Chicago and North Western and Soo Line, which converge near the Supple Marsh and the East Branch Fond du Lac River.
