About this map

Stephensville and Greenville anchor this agricultural landscape in Outagamie County, where the meandering Wolf River and Bear Creek define the northern drainage patterns. The era is one of transition, as traditional farming layouts intersect with the burgeoning Outagamie County Airport and the expanding Chicago and North Western railroad corridor. The map preserves the locations of several rural educational and religious centers, such as the Wide Awake Sch and Trinity Evangelical Ch, reflecting a community structure built around localized school districts and parish life.

Industrial activity is evident through numerous sandpits and gravel pits scattered across the townships of Ellington and Hortonia. Local genealogy and history researchers can trace family plots at Wanderers Rest Cem or St Patricks Cem, while the inclusion of fine red dashed lines indicates fence and field lines as they existed during the late 1960s, offering a precise view of historic property divisions before modern consolidation.
