1961 Map of Poy Sippi

About this map

Lake Poygan dominates the central landscape of this 1961 survey, where the Wolf River and Fox River systems converge in a network of bays, sloughs, and marshlands. The shoreline is marked by early navigational and settlement points like Old Indian Point, Tustin, and Clarks Point. This era shows a well-established rural infrastructure defined by numerous country schools and churches, such as Liberty School and Trinity Church, serving the agricultural communities of Poy Sippi, West Bloomfield, and Auroraville. A notable Cranberry Bog south of Mill Pond reflects the specialized local land use, while scattered Gravel Pits and Quarries indicate the area's resource extraction. Genealogists will find a dense distribution of family and community burial sites, including the Welsh Cemetery and Prellwitz Cemetery, which remain anchored to their respective townships.
