1963 Map of Richmond
USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
Wonder Lake and the village of Richmond anchor this survey of the Illinois-Wisconsin borderlands in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Nippersink Creek and its north branch, which feed into the developed shores of the lake near Sunrise Ridge. The rail network of the era remains prominent, with the Chicago and North Western and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads intersecting near the state line. Genealogists will find valuable local landmarks such as Washington Cem, St Joseph Cem, and Carr-Harrison Cem near the settlement of Ringwood. Small communities like Solon Mills and Belden are shown alongside infrastructure such as Galt Airport and the Harrison Sch, reflecting a mid-century period of rural stability and emerging lakeside recreation.
