1978 Map of New Franken

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The eastern shores of Green Bay anchor this landscape, where the coastal communities of Edgewater Beach, Point Comfort, and Benderville meet the rising terrain of the Door Peninsula. In the late 1970s, this area reflects a rural economy shaped by agriculture and the corridor of the Green Bay and Western railroad. The settlement of New Franken serves as a central hub, flanked by the sprawling New Franken Swamp to the southwest. The map documents a dense network of local history, including multiple religious sites such as St Kilian Ch, Our Lady Chapel, and Robinsonville Ch. These small hamlets, such as Champion, Walhain, and Sugar Bush, are connected by a grid of named rural roads like Van Lanen Road and Luxemburg Road, illustrating the persistent 19th-century settlement patterns even as modern infrastructure evolved around the Kewaunee River.
