1969 Map of Greenville

About this map

The Wolf River and Bear Creek define the northern landscape of Outagamie County in this late 1960s survey, where the small settlements of Stephensville, Hortonville, and Greenville serve as hubs for a largely agricultural and industrial region. The Chicago and North Western railroad cuts diagonally across the terrain, passing through the village of Greenville and past landmarks like the Wayside Park. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed identification of local cemeteries and churches, including St Patricks Cem and Immanuel Ch Cem, alongside rural educational landmarks like the Wide Awake Sch. The southern portion of the map highlights the infrastructure of the Outagamie County Airport and the numerous gravel pits and sandpits that reflect the local extractive industry. This map documents a period of steady growth, evidenced by the transition from rural township roads to the expansion of the airport and corporate boundaries.
