1953 Map of Neillsville
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The Black River carves a central path through this mid-century portrait of Clark County, anchoring the regional hub of Neillsville. The landscape is a patchwork of small-scale agriculture and timber, evidenced by the high density of rural schoolhouses such as West Eaton Sch, Happy Hollow Sch, and the Janesville Sch (Abandoned). Transport infrastructure is transitionary, featuring the Chicago and North Western rail line alongside an Old Railroad Grade in the south, while the Neillsville Airport and underground telephone cable represent modernizing shifts. Topographic interests like the Neillsville Mounds and Middle Mound punctuate the river valley, while several family-history markers, including the Willard National Cem and Seif Cem, provide specific touchstones for genealogical research in townships like Hendren and Eaton.
