About this map

The Rib River and its numerous tributaries, including Elmert Creek and McGinnis Creek, define the rural landscape of central Wisconsin during the early 1950s. The region is characterized by a dense network of township-based communities like Hamburg, Corning, and Berlin. Settlement patterns here are tied closely to the local school and church, often established as combined landmarks such as Emmanuel Sch Cem and Snow Hill Sch Cem.

Significant industrial and agricultural markers are visible, from the Fromm Lookout Tower near Camp 19 to the numerous gravel pits supporting local development. The map records several educational facilities transitioning into the mid-century, including the Corning Sch (Abandoned) and Forest View Sch (Abandoned). Local religious life is anchored by named parishes such as Dreieinigkeit Ch and St Pauls Ch, serving families across the Lincoln and Marathon County border.
