1961 Map of Kieler

About this map

The Sinsinawa River and the Menominee River flow south toward the Mississippi River in this 1961 depiction of southwestern Grant County. The landscape is dotted with small rural crossroads and religious sites, such as the prominent Sinsinawa Mound and the community of Sinsinawa at the base of its slopes. The area is defined by a dense network of valleys, or hollows, including Plum Hollow, Dry Hollow, and Bethel Hollow, which break the upland plateaus between the villages of Kieler, Dickeyville, and Louisburg. Several local landmarks cater to genealogists, including Jamestown Cem, St Joseph Cem, and St Clara Cem, alongside parochial and district schools like St Joseph Sch and Vandra Sch. The southwestern corner includes a portion of the Upper Mississippi River Wildlife and Fish Refuge, marking the transition to the river's broad floodplain near Sandy Hook.
