About this map

The city of Oconto serves as the focal point of this 1970s coastal survey, where the Oconto River empties into the waters of Green Bay. The landscape is a mix of municipal infrastructure and protected wetlands, notably the Oconto Marsh State Game Refuge and Ajax Island. Along the bay front, recreation and conservation efforts are evident through the North Bay Shore Recreation Area and Rush Point State Public Hunting Grounds.

Tracing the northern shoreline reveals a shift toward rural residential patterns and industry, including several Gravel Pits and the small settlements of Cullen and Thomas. Local genealogy is well-supported by the presence of multiple burial grounds like Garden of Hope Cem and Cullen Cem, alongside civic landmarks such as the Courthouse and several parochial and public institutions including St Josephs Sch and Maple Grove School.
