About this map

New Auburn serves as the focal point of this mid-1970s survey, straddling the border of Barron and Chippewa counties. The village is tightly clustered around the Chicago and North Western railroad line, which cuts a diagonal path through the landscape of western Wisconsin. To the north, the New Auburn State Public Hunting Grounds occupy a significant portion of the terrain, characterized by the winding path of Beaver Creek.

Family history is preserved across several rural burying grounds, including Duncan Creek Cem and the Marquardt Cem. The area’s varied land use is evident in features like the Ski Area near Old Maids Bluff and the small Vetterkind Landing Field to the northeast. From the central village park to the southern reaches of Trout Creek, the map details a community defined by its watercourses and agricultural grid, maintaining a clear distinction between the town center and the surrounding townships of Dover and Sampson.
