1959 Map of Oconomowoc West

About this map

The Oconomowoc and Concord areas are defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and river systems as they appeared in the late 1950s. The Rock River meanders through the northern townships, while the Oconomowoc River feeds into Lac La Belle near the growing hub of Oconomowoc. This landscape reflects a mix of established agricultural settlements and early suburban expansion, with the Sullivan village anchored to the south by the Chicago and North Western rail line. Local history is deeply embedded in the rural infrastructure, from the Norwegian Cem and Concord Center Cem to various neighborhood schoolhouses like Lakeside Sch and Golden Lake Sch. The presence of large water bodies such as Golden Lake and Goose Lake underscores the region's long-standing character as a destination for both milling and recreation.
