1955 Map of Fox Lake

About this map

Fox Lake and its numerous named islands, including Dead Island and McFetridge Island, serve as the centerpiece for this mid-century look at the Wisconsin countryside. The landscape is a dense network of rural infrastructure, where nearly every township section supports a schoolhouse, such as Lonely Cedar Sch and Sunny Hillside Sch. The rail lines of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific tie together the larger settlements of Markesan and Brandon, while smaller hubs like Alto and Buckhorn Corner maintain their local identities.
