About this map

The Fox River cuts through the heart of Oshkosh, serving as the central artery between Lake Butte des Morts and Lake Winnebago. This 1990s revision reveals a landscape heavily shaped by public and institutional land use, with the Winnebago State Hospital complex and the Winnebago State Prison Farm occupying significant tracts along North Asylum Bay. The city's academic and civic core is anchored by the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and an extensive grid of streets extending south of Murdock Ave.

Tracing the northern periphery reveals a cluster of specialized facilities, including the Sunny View Sanatorium and several historically significant burial grounds such as State Hospital Cem and Brooks Cem. Transport corridors are dominated by the Soo Line railroad and local shoreline landmarks like Plummer Point and Asylum Point, which define the transition from urban density to the expansive waterfronts of Millers Bay.
