1954 Map of Shawano
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Wolf River and its numerous cataracts, including Big Eddy Falls and Wayka Falls, dominate the northern landscape of the Menominee Indian Reservation. This mid-century portrait captures the intersection of indigenous lands and growing municipal hubs, with Keshena serving as a central point for reservation activity near the Spirit Rock Historic Marker. To the south, the city of Shawano anchors the map at the edge of Shawano Lake, showing its 1950s infrastructure including the Shawano Airport and a localized Drive-in Theater. Rural life is meticulously documented through a network of country schools such as Texas Sch and Ainsworth Sch, while the industrial footprint of the Chicago and North Western Railroad and an Old Grade Railroad corridor trace the evolution of regional transit. The presence of the Peters Hall Sch (Abandoned) provides a rare specific record of a departing era of local education.
