About this map

The Fox River corridor forms the industrial and civic spine of this mid-2010s landscape, connecting the contiguous communities of Appleton, Kimberly, Little Chute, Combined Locks, and Kaukauna. This map details the dense residential grids and commercial development that follow the river's path, where geography and water power historically dictated the growth of these paper-milling towns. The northern half of the survey transitions into a more structured agricultural and suburban layout, defined by roads like Greiner Rd and Wege Rd, and drained by the winding course of Apple Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds documented, including Saint John Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Holy Cross Cem. The presence of the Canadian National railroad line illustrates the continued importance of heavy transit through the valley. Other distinctive landmarks like the Little Chute Islands and the Fox Point bend provide a clear picture of the area's natural topography amidst its heavy urbanization.
