1961 Map of Redgranite

About this map

The industrial and agricultural character of eastern Waushara County is clearly defined in this 1961 survey, where the twin villages of Redgranite and Lohrville dominate the center-west. The landscape is marked by its extractive history, showing a large Quarry and numerous Quarries that once drove the local economy, alongside a network of scattered Gravel Pits. Water resources are a defining feature of the area, ranging from the recreational shores of Pearl Lake and Taylor Lake in the northwest to the wetlands surrounding Jordans Lake and Willow Creek in the south. Local heritage is preserved through landmarks like the Townhall and several rural burying grounds, including Poy Sippi Cem and Pine Grove Cem, providing valuable touchpoints for genealogists tracking family roots in the townships of Leon, Poy Sippi, Warren, and Aurora.
