About this map

The Oconto River winds through the southern landscape of this 1974 survey, anchoring a region defined by scattered dairy farms and small rural settlements like Spruce and Kelly Brook. To the south, the city of Oconto Falls begins to take shape, where the Chicago and North Western railroad line connects the community to wider industry. This map preserves a detailed look at the infrastructure of the mid-1970s, including an Old Railroad Grade and a network of named country roads such as Vatso Road and Valley Line Road that link the various townships.

Local history is deeply rooted in the churches and cemeteries that dot the countryside, including St Mark Ch and the Sacred Heart Cem. The terrain is characterized by numerous small water bodies and wetlands, from Balcom Lake and Lily Lake to the meandering Daly Creek. These natural features, combined with industrial markers like a Gravel Pit and a Radio Tower, reflect the functional, pastoral character of Oconto County during this era.
