About this map

The Fox River and East River converge in this detailed mapping of the industrial and residential landscape of the early 1980s. The urban core of Green Bay is centered on the southeast, where major landmarks like Lambeau Field and the Arena anchor the Ashwaubenon area. A significant Indian Reservation Boundary cuts across the western half of the map, separating the growing suburbs of Howard and Elm Tree Corners from the more rural reaches to the north.

Transport and industry define the waterfront, from the Powerplant on the bay to the extensive rail lines of the Chicago and North Western and Green Bay & Western railroads. Along the shoreline, the State Wildlife Area and Long Tail Point preserve the natural marshes of Dead Horse Bay, providing a stark contrast to the nearby urban development and the active Quarry and gravel operations found further inland.
