About this map

The Fox River corridor and its industrial-era infrastructure dominate this landscape, which spans the junctions of Marquette, Green Lake, and Waushara counties. In the town of Princeton, the river's winding path is regulated by the Princeton Lock, while further northeast, the White River Lock marks the confluence where the White River meets the main channel. These hydraulic improvements suggest the importance of river navigation and water power during the early 20th century.

Upland from the marshes and river bottoms, the Chicago and Northwestern railway connects settlements like Neshkoro and Bannerman, while the northern portion of Green Lake and the expansive Puckaway Lake anchor the southern reaches. Numerous rural schools, such as School No 7 and School No 11, are distributed across the township grids, reflecting a densely populated farming interior. Prominent landmarks like Mt Tom and Pine Bluff provide topographical relief to a region defined by its complex drainage network, including Lunch Creek and the Puchyan River.
