1961 Map of Omro

About this map

The Wolf River and Fox River converge within a sprawling marshy basin in this early 1960s survey of Winnebago County. The landscape is defined by the broad waters of Lake Winneconne and Lake Butte des Morts, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad tracks cut across the wetlands. Small lakeside developments like Nichols Shore Acres, Rivermoor, and Reighmoor highlight the mid-century growth of recreational and residential communities along the shoreline, contrasting with the established hubs of Winneconne and Omro.
