1918 Map of Neshkoro

About this map

Fox River navigation and the growing rail network of the early twentieth century define this landscape at the intersection of Marquette, Waushara, and Green Lake Counties. The Chicago and Northwestern railroad cuts through the center of the sheet, connecting the settlement at Princeton to points north and south. This period shows the active management of the local waterways, evidenced by the White River Lock and Princeton Lock, which facilitated movement between the river and the surrounding marshlands. A dense network of one-room schoolhouses, such as School No 1 and School No 12, are scattered throughout townships like Seneca and ST Marie, reflecting the dispersed agricultural community of the era. The map also captures significant water bodies including Green Lake and Puckaway Lake, which anchor the southern half of the quadrangle.
