About this map

Plymouth anchors the southwest corner of this Sheboygan County landscape, where the Mullet River and Jackson Creek converge near the Plymouth Millpond 58-6. This 2010 survey highlights a region defined by its rural heritage and recreational landmarks, notably the sprawling Road America Raceway and Camp Anokijig situated near Little Elkhart Lake. The map serves as a vital record for genealogists, documenting numerous burial sites such as the Saint John German Evangelical Cemetery, Liberty Cemetery, and Zoar Cemetery scattered across the township lines.

Waterways like the Sheboygan River wind through the eastern half, passing the Franklin Dam near the settlement of Franklin. Further north, the community of Rhine sits amidst a network of glacial lakes including Gerber Lake and Bullet Lake. This document meticulously tracks the transition from the concentrated street grid of the Plymouth Post Office area to the expansive agricultural tracts divided by historical county highways.
