1963 Map of Marinette West

About this map

The industrial and civic centers of Marinette, Wisconsin, and Menominee, Michigan, converge at the mouth of the Menominee River during this mid-century period. The map highlights a landscape defined by significant paper and timber heritage, with several river features like Boom Island and Blueberry I indicating the waterway's working history. Institutional landmarks such as Jordan Seminary, County Teachers College, and the Armory reflect the regional importance of the area. To the southwest, the Peshtigo River winds through the landscape toward the Peshtigo Harbor State Wildlife Area, passing the city of Peshtigo. Transport corridors of the Chicago and North Western and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads cut across the terrain, linking the industrial riverfronts to the interior farmlands and local schools like Stewart Sch and Garfield Sch.
