1948 Map of New Richmond

Beyond the larger towns, the rural character of the era is preserved through a dense network of country schools, including Riverdale Sch, Oak Hill Sch, and the Clarendon School. Notable local landmarks like Anderson Spring and the Lonesome Trail reflect the intersection of the natural environment with early settlement patterns. To the north, Cedar Lake and Lower Pine Lake anchor a region transition from agriculture to recreation, while the Emanuel Ch and Schroeder Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogical research.
