About this map

The settlement of Mountain serves as the hub of this 1970s survey, situated where the Chicago and North Western Railway crosses the Oconto River. This northern Wisconsin landscape is heavily defined by the Nicolet National Forest and an intricate network of waterways, including the broad Chute Pond and the Waupee Flowage. The map reveals a region built on timber and recreation, evidenced by the numerous camps and the Mountain Lookout Tower perched overlooking the river valley.

Local infrastructure is represented by the Bowman Airport and small settlements like Olson. Notable landmarks for genealogists and local historians include the St Michael Chapel and various family-named roads such as Niemann Road and Stoehr Road. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Stone Quarry near the river indicates the primary extractive industries supporting local road development during this era.
