About this map

The Fox River serves as the industrial and civic spine for this Fox River Valley corridor, where the settlements of Appleton, Kimberly, Little Chute, and Kaukauna cluster along the water's edge. This 2010 survey details an extensive network of 19th-century water management infrastructure, including the Kimberly Laws1848 Dam and the Kaukauna 1856c112 Dam, illustrating the long-standing reliance on the river for power and navigation. The transition from industrial waterfronts to residential grids and outlying agricultural land is sharp, particularly near Combined Locks.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of established burial grounds throughout the area, such as Saint John Cemetery, Holy Cross Cemetery, and the Kelson Cemetery near the eastern edge. Local landscape features like the Little Chute Islands and the winding course of Apple Creek provide a natural contrast to the dense network of county highways and the suburban expansion of the early 21st century.
