1983 Map of New Lisbon South

About this map

The Lemonweir River winds through the northeast corner of this 1983 Wisconsin survey, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad parallels its course near New Lisbon. The landscape is defined by a dense network of ridges and valleys, including Norwegian Gap, Suldal Valley, and Duckworth Ridge. This topography has historically dictated settlement patterns, with family-named burial grounds like Zindorf Cem and East Lemonweir Cem marking the high ground above the creek beds. Rural life in the townships of Fountain, Plymouth, and Lindina is evidenced by numerous small-scale industrial sites, such as the Quarry and various Sandpit locations. The southern portion of the map reveals a complex drainage system where Onemile Creek and Cleaver Creek cut through the terrain, supporting scattered farmsteads connected by a grid of named roads including Suldal Road and Norton Road.
