1974 Map of Nichols

About this map

The Shioc River and its tributaries, Toad Creek and Herman Creek, carve through the agricultural landscape of Outagamie and Shawano Counties in this mid-1970s survey. The village of Nichols serves as a central hub, where the Soo Line railroad intersects with a grid of rural roads like Muellaman Road and Scott Road. This period shows a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the clustered presence of Emmanuel Ch, St Johns Ch, and the United Brethren Ch. To the northwest, the Navarino State Wildlife Area provides a distinct transition from the cultivated fields of Lessor and Maine townships. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including Union Cem, North Cicero Cem, and South Cicero Cem, which anchor the surrounding farmsteads.
