1963 Map of Marinette

About this map

Menominee River serves as the focal point for industrial and civic life on the Michigan-Wisconsin border during the mid-1960s, separating the twin cities of Menominee and Marinette. The landscape reveals a complex network of transportation and education, featuring the Chicago and North Western and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads that serviced the waterfront. Local institutions like the County Teachers College and St Marys Mission anchor the community's social history. Beyond the urban centers, the terrain transitions into timber and agricultural lands, dotted with small rural schools such as Hansen Sch and Winesville Sch. Along the shore of Green Bay, notable maritime features including Seagull Bar and Juttner Point define the coast, while Green Island sits further out in the bay. Farther south, the Peshtigo River winds through the Peshtigo area toward its mouth at Peshtigo Harbor.
