About this map

Lake Winnebago defines the northwestern boundary of this 1992 landscape, where the shoreline is dotted with established lakefront communities like Welling Beach, Gladstone Beach, and Linden Beach. Inland, the terrain is shaped by the prominent Ledge and the headwaters of several drainages, including the South Branch Manitowoc River and the Sheboygan River. The rural character of Taycheedah and Marshfield is marked by a network of gravel extraction sites and long-standing Catholic community hubs like Saint Peter and Johnsburg.

Resource extraction and agriculture define the local economy, evident in the numerous Gravel Pits and the Old Railroad Grade crossing the northern half of the sheet. For those tracing family history, the map provides precise locations for St Peters church and several burying grounds, including Taycheedah Cem and Forest Cemetery. The transition from the developed lakeshore to the rural interior reflects the gradual expansion of settlements like Taycheedah and Mt Calvary.
