About this map

Agricultural lands and rural hamlets define the landscape of the Wisconsin interior during the mid-century, as captured in this survey. The East Branch Rock River winds through the northwestern corner, while small, concentrated settlements like Nenno, Addison, and Hochheim serve as anchors for the surrounding farmsteads. The distribution of neighborhood institutions reflects a community built on local education and faith, evidenced by numerous schoolhouses and churches such as Liberty Sch, Zion Sch, and Immanuel Sch.

Glacial history is written into the terrain through a high concentration of Gravel Pit and Gravel Pits locations, indicating an active local industry for road building and construction. Genealogists will find particular value in the identification of several rural burial grounds, including St Johns Cem and Reform Cem, located near the southern boundary of the Herman and Addison townships. The map provides a precise look at the 1950s road network, showing how primary routes connected crossroads like Herman Center and Huilsburg.
