1974 Map of Marytown

About this map

The Manitowoc River and its South Branch cut through a landscape of rolling agriculture and significant limestone quarrying in the mid-1970s. This territory is famously bisected by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which runs east-to-west through the center of the sheet, separating the townships of Brothertown and Charlestown to the north from Calumet and Marshfield to the south. Small settlements serve as local hubs, most notably Marytown and Charlesburg, the latter of which includes the St Charles Cem. The heavy presence of several Quarries and Gravel Pits reflects the area's geological utility, while Wayside Park and numerous Springs indicate the natural hydrology of the Calumet and Fond du Lac county line area. The road network is dense with family-named routes such as Pethan Road and Thede Road, tracing the established grid of Wisconsin dairy country.
