1969 Map of Rosholt

About this map

Rosholt and Galloway anchor this northern Wisconsin landscape as it appeared in the late 1960s, a region defined by a dense concentration of glacial kettles and moraine-fed waters. The village of Rosholt serves as a hub in the southern portion of the sheet, while the smaller settlement of Holt and the town of Alban provide more dispersed residential points. A significant historical industrial mark is left by the Old Grade Railroad, which traces a path through the center of the terrain, indicative of the area's timber-hauling past. This transport corridor passes near several prominent water bodies, including Moss Lake and Stenson Lake. The Little Wolf River meanders across the northern reaches, while the south is punctuated by recreation and community spaces like Peterson Park and Lions Lake. Local industry is further evidenced by several Gravel Pits located near the headwaters of Bradley Creek, reflecting the glacial geology that shaped the county's economy.
