2018 Map of Hilbert

About this map

Hilbert Junction and the adjacent village of Hilbert anchor the southern portion of this Calumet County survey, where the regional drainage of the N Br Manitowoc River and Killsnake River shapes the low-lying terrain. The map documents a dense network of early crossroads settlements, including Forest Junction, Sherwood, and Dundas, each serving as a focal point for the surrounding dairy-country homesteads. Genealogists will find a high density of religious landmarks, with several denominations represented through the Saint Johns Catholic Cem, Saint John Lutheran Cem, and Saint Mary's Cem. A notable geographic feature is the Military Rd, a corridor that speaks to the era of early frontier transport, now integrated into the modern grid near Harrison. The landscape is characterized by its transition between these small hamlets and the expansive wetlands along the river forks.
