About this map

The confluence of the Big Rib River and the Rib River anchors this 1970s landscape in Marathon County, where the settlement of Hamburg sits at the crossing of several major local thoroughfares. The map reveals a community structured around its spiritual and civic institutions, featuring St Pauls Ch and Salem Ch, along with the St Pauls Cem and Lueck Cem which serve as vital touchstones for family historians.

Beyond the central village and the Hamburg PO, the terrain is defined by a network of rural routes like Rainbow Drive and Washington Drive. Industrial and recreational interests appear in the form of scattered Gravel Pits and the riverside Amco County Park. This survey captures a moment of established rural life, documenting several local Townhalls and the winding courses of Stony Creek and Black Creek as they feed the primary river system.
