1974 Map of Indian Point

About this map

Lake Winnebago dominates this 1970s survey, illustrating the developed western shoreline within the townships of Vinland and Oshkosh. The residential patterns of the era are visible in the layout of Osh-O-Nee Shores and Osh-O-Nee Midway, where suburban-style street grids like Indian Point Rd and Cowling Bay Road meet the water. The map provides specific maritime details including the hazards of Little Blackbird Reef and Blackbird Reef, alongside public access points such as the Boat Ramp near Indian Point. Prominent coastal features including Paynes Point and Jenkyns Point define the shape of Cowling Bay, while the northern reach of North Asylum Bay marks the lower boundary of this lakeside landscape. This record captures a specific moment in Wisconsin's coastal development before later expansion further altered the shoreline's character.
