About this map

The industrial and civic heart of the city of Sheboygan anchors the southern portion of this mid-century survey, showing the urban grid as it transitioned into the rural townships of Mosel and Centerville. Along the shoreline of Lake Michigan, the Camp Haven Military Reservation occupies a prominent stretch of coast south of the village of Haven. The map details the infrastructure of a growing maritime community, from the Waterworks and Sheboygan Reef to the centralized campus of North High School and Memorial Hospital.

Tracing the path of the Chicago and North Western railroad northward reveals a series of small, established settlements like Cleveland, Hika, and Northeim. These communities are defined by local landmarks such as White Trail School and Kassa Cemetery, reflecting the early educational and religious foundations of the county. The drainage patterns of Sevenmile Creek and the Pigeon River illustrate the natural topography that shaped agricultural development and road placement in this coastal region of Wisconsin.
