1951 Map of Oconto NW

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The rural topography of Custer County reveals a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and the steady rhythm of prairie education in the early 1950s. The drainage systems of Wood River and its tributaries, Cottonwood Creek and Spring Creek, carve through the terrain, providing the essential structure for the local townships of Delight, Grant, and Redfern. A remarkable concentration of rural schoolhouses, including Hillside Sch, Hog Hollow Sch, Cottonwood Sch, Happy Hollow Sch, and Redfern Sch, speaks to a decentralized community structure where local children still attended neighborhood classes within walking distance of their family farms.
