About this map

Lake Winnebago dominates this mid-century landscape, where the Fox River flows through the industrial centers of Menasha and Neenah. The map captures a detailed snapshot of urban development on Doty Island, situated between the Little Lake Butte Des Morts and the main lake. Numerous parochial schools and institutions, such as St Marys Sch and St Elizabeth Hospital, reflect the community's established social infrastructure during the 1950s.

Moving south along the eastern shore, the topography rises sharply at High Cliff, marking a distinct geological transition near the Stockbridge Indian Reservation Boundary. The map identifies several rural educational landmarks that had already ceased operation by this time, including Beecher Sch and Clay Sch, providing critical data for those tracing the consolidation of rural school districts and vanished local landmarks in Calumet and Winnebago counties.
