About this map

The Soo Line and Chicago And North Western railroads intersect at Medina Junction in this 1961 survey, documenting the industrial and agricultural landscape northwest of Lake Winnebago. Small rural centers like Larsen and Allenville are central to the township of Clayton, where local infrastructure is marked by the Clayton School, the Townhall, and Immanuel Church.

The landscape is dotted with numerous Gravel Pits and a large Quarry near the eastern border, reflecting the area's extractive activity. Significant aviation history is visible through the Valley Airways Airport and the Brennand Landing Strip, while the Rat River winds through the northwestern corner. The transition from farmland to suburban expansion is evident near the Neenah Corporate Boundary, where features like the Ridgeway Country Club and Greenlawn Memorial Park appear.
