About this map

Bark River and its winding tributaries dominate this 1960s landscape, shaping a series of impoundments and wetlands that define local life. Small rural hubs like Rome and Slabtown sit near water bodies such as Rome Pond and Slabtown Pond, while the settlement of Hebron is positioned between the river and Green Isle Lake. The terrain is punctuated by many family and community burial grounds, including Hoffman Cem, Munson Cem, and McKay Cem, providing significant geographic markers for genealogists.

Water management and local education are evident through features like the Cushman Mill Sch and a Pumping Station near Mud Creek. To the south, Scuppernong Creek and Steel Brook feed into the river system near Princess Point Bridge, illustrating the complex drainage of the Jefferson and Sullivan townships. This map captures a moment of established rural infrastructure before later modernization changed the character of these small Wisconsin hamlets.
