About this map

The Mullet River and Onion River define the agricultural landscape of south-central Sheboygan County, providing the water power that historically anchored small settlements. In this mid-1970s view, the industrial legacy of the region is visible through features like the Waldo Mill Pond and Hingham Mill Pond, while the northern portion is dominated by the urban expansion of Plymouth and the smaller neighborhood of New Paris.

Genealogists can locate several rural burial sites, including Harmon Cem and Lyndon Cem, along with country houses of worship such as Salem Plank Road Ch and St Thomas Ch. The map also captures the transport network of the era, showing the tracks of the Chicago and North Western and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads as they navigate the glacial terrain and the expansive Cascade Swamp in the southwestern corner.
