About this map

The White River Lock and Princeton Lock underscore a landscape defined by its waterways during the early 20th century. At this time, the Fox River and White River served as vital corridors through central Wisconsin, connecting established settlements like Princeton and Marquette. The map reveals a transition between the marshy expanse surrounding Puckaway Lake and the deeper waters of Green Lake, where landmarks such as Sugar Loaf and Lone Tree Point break the shoreline.

Upland from the riverbanks, the distribution of one-room schoolhouses, including School No 7 and School No 1, illustrates the rural density of townships like Seneca and Neshkoro. This era is also marked by the presence of the Northwestern Line and the Northwestern Road, which supported commercial hubs like Bannerman and Germania before the mid-century shifts in rural transport and agriculture altered the region's demographic footprint.
