1954 Map of Sheboygan Falls

About this map

Lake Michigan forms the eastern edge of this mid-century landscape, where industrial towns like Plymouth, Sheboygan Falls, and Kohler anchor a complex network of dairy-land settlements. The topography is defined by glacial remnants such as the expansive Adell Swamp and the waters of Random Lake, while the Mullet River and Onion River wind through the countryside to power sites like the Waldo Mill Pond. This era captures a rural Wisconsin in transition, dotted with numerous one-room schoolhouses like Banner Sch and River Valley Sch, several of which, including Winooski Sch and Amsterdam Sch, are already noted as abandoned.
