About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the eastern half of this mid-century survey, its depths marked by sounding figures and the prominent Sheboygan Reef. Along the coast, the northern portion of Sheboygan displays a dense grid of residential and institutional development. The city's social infrastructure is well-defined by numerous educational and religious sites, including North High School and St Nickolas Hospital, alongside several municipal parks like Vollrath Park and Deland Park that buffer the shoreline.

North of the urban center, the landscape transitions into the rural townships of Mosel and Sheboygan, where the Chicago and North Western railroad cuts a straight path toward Haven. A notable military presence is found at the Camp Haven Military Reservation, situated where Sevenmile Creek meets the lake. This map captures the region before extensive suburban expansion, preserving the locations of outlying landmarks like Pigeon River Sch and the distinct bend of the Pigeon River.
