About this map

The Fox River and its winding tributaries, including the Mecan River and White River, define the landscape of this Central Wisconsin region in the early 1960s. The city of Princeton sits at a geographic crossroads, where the Chicago and North Western railroad meets the water. Nearby, the Bed-ah-Wick Landing Field suggests the evolving transportation needs of the mid-century. Further north, the village of Neshkoro and the small settlement of Bannerman anchor the rural landscape, which is dotted with neighborhood landmarks like the Rabbitt Sch and Borth Sch.

The survey highlights the intersection of recreation and agriculture, with Green Lake and Puckaway Lake framing the southern reaches. Numerous rural cemeteries, such as St Marie Cem, Fairburn Cem, and Germania Cem, provide critical touchstones for genealogists. The concentration of Gravel Pits and a Quarry near Brooklyn reflect the local extractive industry that supported the region's road and rail infrastructure during this era.
