About this map

Oshkosh and its surrounding lakeside neighborhoods are documented here during a period of modern expansion along the western shores of Lake Winnebago. The map detail captures the city’s complex shoreline, from the industry and residential grids of the central city to the suburban character of Melrose Park and Keenville. The Fox River serves as a central artery connecting the primary lake with Lake Butte des Morts, which is bordered by residential points like Shangri La Point and Sunset Point.

Significant land use for memorial and institutional purposes is evident throughout the quadrangle. A cluster of historic burial grounds, including Riverside Cem, Calvary Cem, and the State Hospital Cem near Asylum Point, provide essential data points for local genealogists. Beyond the urban core, the map tracks the transition to rural Winnebago County, noted by Gallinger Airport and the smaller settlements of Plummer Point and Fairview Beach, while offshore features like Horseshoe Reef and Oshkosh Reefs mark the hazards of the lake bed.
