About this map

The Wolf River winds through the northern portion of this Outagamie County landscape, its broad meanders and oxbows defining the township of Liberty. To the south, the village of Hortonville is established at the eastern edge of Black Otter Lake, where the Chicago and North Western railway intersects with the local street grid. The map reveals a highly structured agricultural and industrial pattern, dotted with numerous Gravel Pits and quarries that hint at the region's geological utility.

Genealogical details are prominent, with several community landmarks including SS Peter and Paul Cem and the Pine Grove Cem near Dale. Further south, the crossroads settlement of Medina serves as another focal point, positioned along the Soo Line tracks. The transition from the marshy lowlands of Black Otter Creek to the established township of Hortonia shows how early settlement followed the high ground between the river systems and the emerging rail corridors.
