1956 Map of Oconto Falls

About this map

Oconto Falls serves as the industrial and topographic center of this mid-century Wisconsin landscape, situated along the winding Oconto River. The presence of the Machickanee Flowage and the Flats Recreation Area suggests a region defined by water management and local leisure. The infrastructure of the era is clearly marked by the intersection of the Chicago and North Western and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads at Stiles Junction, highlighting the importance of rail transport for the surrounding dairy and timber lands.
