1961 Map of Lake Poygan

About this map

Wolf River and the sprawling waters of Lake Poygan dominate this mid-century survey of eastern Waupaca and Winnebago Counties. The landscape is defined by the complex aquatic network of Pages Slough, Boom Bay, and Norwegian Bay, where the river meets the lake. Small communities like Zittau and Orihula serve as anchors for the surrounding rural area, which is dotted with localized social institutions including Immanuel Ch, Zion Ch, and the Wolf River Sch. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial sites, such as Becker Cem, St Pauls Cem, and Wolf River Cem. The map illustrates the region just as modern updates were being noted, with purple revisions from 1975 showing shifts in development around the Trailer Park and along the shores of Lake Winneconne.
