1954 Map of Manitowoc
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Manitowoc Harbor and its Turning Basin dominate the Lake Michigan shoreline of this mid-century survey, serving as the industrial and logistical heart of the city. Industrial activity and maritime infrastructure are evident in the Waterworks Intake and Intake Crib offshore, while the Chicago and North Western railroad provides land-based connectivity. The landscape is dotted with educational and social institutions, including numerous neighborhood schools like Franklin Sch and Lincoln High Sch, as well as specialized facilities such as the Holy Family Convent and the County Asylum. Outside the urban center, the terrain is defined by a series of small water bodies like Silver Lake and Hartlaubs Lake, and small rural communities including Duveneck and Alverno. The transition from urban density to rural township is marked by the Salem Sch (Aban'd) and the Town Hall in Newton.
