1954 Map of Granton

About this map

The Granton area in central Wisconsin exhibits a landscape defined by a dense network of rural one-room schoolhouses and country churches during the mid-1950s. This survey captures a period when the agricultural grid was still punctuated by numerous local institutions, from Merryvale Sch in the west to Nasonville Ch in the east. The terrain transitions from the headwaters of O'Neill Creek and Bear Creek toward more distinctive landforms like Burdock Mound and the Lindsey Bluffs, which rise above the surrounding farmland.
