About this map

The Wolf River winds across the northern reaches of this Outagamie County landscape, creating a broad wetland corridor that contrasts with the organized grid of the agricultural uplands. The village of Hortonville serves as the primary hub, situated where the Chicago and North Western railway skirts Black Otter Lake. Further south, the settlements of Dale and Medina anchor a farming district defined by small local landmarks like Daufen Park and numerous rural burial grounds, including Pine Grove Cem and Medina Cem.

The infrastructure of the late 1960s is evident in the transition from traditional rail lines like the Soo Line to newer developments such as the Pipeline Road and several gravel pits. Topographical interest is found at Ledge Hill, while local water bodies like Shaky Lake and Squaw Lake punctuate the wooded lowlands, illustrating the varied terrain that defined life in Hortonia and Dale townships during this era.
