About this map

The Mullet River and the Onion River dictate the geography of southern Sheboygan County, where early industrial water power shaped local settlements. This survey documents the mill-driven development of Waldo and Hingham, both centered on historic millponds such as the Waldo Millpond 22 and Hingham Millpond 34. The legacy of these small-town hubs is further evidenced by several namesake landmarks, including the Onion River Dam and Hingham Dam.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the countryside, from the Union Cemetery near New Paris to the Farmin Cemetery and Lyndon Cemetery. These sites, alongside landmarks like the Plymouth Post Office, anchor the family histories of the agricultural tracts between County Hwy-PP and County Hwy-I. The map provides a clear picture of the rural road network and water systems as they functioned at the start of the 2010s.
