About this map

Glacial geology and agricultural settlement define this part of the Wisconsin lakeshore region, where the Sheboygan River winds through the townships of Schleswig and Rhine. The landscape is characterized by numerous small bodies of water, including the prominent Cedar Lake and Wilke Lake, alongside many smaller basins like Shoe Lake and Horseshoe Lake. Small crossroads communities and rural institutions serve as the primary landmarks, notably the Salvatorian Seminary and various local parishes like Lax Chapel and Bethlehem Ch.

Educational history is well-preserved through a network of one-room schoolhouses such as Hillside Grove Sch and Maple Corner Sch. Local industry is represented by scattered Gravel Pits and the riverside settlement of Millhome. This survey, photorevised in the early 1970s, captures the enduring rural character of eastern Wisconsin before significant suburban expansion, documenting specific family-named landmarks like the Ucker Road Cem and the Fountain Park Sch.
