1954 Map of Sheboygan Falls

About this map

The Sheboygan River winds through this mid-century landscape, joining the Mullet River and Onion River at the industrial and residential heart of Sheboygan Falls. The map documents a period of established local infrastructure, where the Chicago and North Western railroad connects the bustling village of Kohler to smaller agrarian hubs like Gibbsville and Oostburg. Outside the main town centers, the landscape is defined by rural education and community markers, including several family and parish sites like Jansen Cem, Moenning Cem, and the St George Sch. The presence of the Sheboygan Speedway near Weedens suggests the era's recreational growth, while numerous gravel pits point to the local extraction industry supporting the region's mid-century expansion.
