1970 Map of Hatfield NE

About this map

The East Fork Black River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Clark and Jackson Counties, anchoring a landscape shaped by early Wisconsin transportation and small rural settlements. In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, the community of Shortville serves as a local focal point near the Levis Cem, while the southern corridor is defined by the east-west route of the Green Bay and Western railroad passing through Waterbury. This 1970s era documentation, updated in the mid-1980s, reveals a territory characterized by significant topographic features like Brushy Ridge and the broad marshes of Komensky. The transition from old thoroughfares like Old Highway 54 to the modernized Brushy Ridge Road illustrates the gradual evolution of the local infrastructure in this part of the Central Plain.
