1969 Map of Polonia

About this map

The glacial landscape of central Wisconsin is defined by a mosaic of wetlands and small agricultural hamlets in this late-1960s survey. Jordan Swamp dominates the western edge, fed by the Plover River and Lost Creek, while the eastern portion transitions to the rolling terrain around the Tomorrow River. These rural communities are centered on local institutions such as Sacred Heart Sch and the community of Polonia. To the south, the industrial and transport corridor follows the Soo Line railroad, connecting the settlements of Stockton and Custer. The map reveals a high density of specialized infrastructure including a Radio Tower, numerous Gravel Pits, and a sprawling network of irrigation or municipal wells, reflecting the region's reliance on both groundwater and geological extraction. Small crossroads like Ellis serve as anchors for local life, featuring both the St Martin Ch and Edison Sch.
