1969 Map of Lunds

About this map

The Wolf River winds through a landscape of wetlands and timber in this late 1960s survey of Shawano County. Much of the southern terrain is dominated by the Navarino Wildlife Area and the extensive Navarino Marsh, reflecting a region shaped by glacial drainage and a high water table. The settlement of Lunds serves as a small rural hub, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with community landmarks like Jerusalem Ch, St Johns Ch, and Hilda Cem. The township of Wauk Echon and the bordering Matteson area show a distinct grid of country roads, including Belle Plaine Avenue and Sunrise Road, which connect the numerous sandpits and family farmsteads that define the local economy. This map illustrates the balance between managed wilderness and a well-established agricultural community.
