1973 Map of Mountain

About this map

The Oconto River system dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the settlement of Mountain serves as a hub for both industry and early 1970s recreation. The map illustrates a transition from the heavy industrial use of the land, evidenced by a Stone Quarry and numerous Gravel Pits, toward the protected forests of the Nicolet National Forest. Water management is a defining characteristic of the era, seen in the broad expanse of the Waupee Flowage and the recreational developments surrounding Chute Pond and Green Lake.
