1954 Map of Green Bay West

About this map

The Fox River and Green Bay waterfront anchor this mid-century industrial and residential landscape, showing the city's growth westward into the townships of Howard and Hobart. A dense network of schools, such as West High Sch and Annunciation Sch, alongside neighborhood parks like Fisk Park and Pamperin Park, reflect the post-war expansion of the urban core. The rail infrastructure is prominent, with the Chicago and North Western and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific lines cutting through the terrain to serve the heavy industry along the river, marked by Oil Tanks, Gas Tanks, and a Power Plant. Beyond the city limits, the map transitions into more rural areas featuring landmarks like Burden Hill and the long, thin stretch of Long Tail Point reaching into the bay, while smaller settlements like Duck Creek and Elm Tree Corners maintain their own distinct identities amid the developing suburbs.
