About this map

The northeastern shoreline of Lake Winnebago defines the character of this mid-1970s landscape, where residential expansion from Appleton meets the rural townships of Harrison and Buchanan. The prominent elevation of High Cliff serves as the focal point for High Cliff State Park, a site of both natural interest and industrial history evidenced by the Limekiln Ruins and several active quarries.

Social and recreational infrastructure is well-represented, from the Wisconsin International Raceway in the north to the High Cliff Country Club and North Shore Country Club along the water. Genealogists can locate family sites at High Cliff Cem and Sacred Heart Cem, while the Soo Line railroad cuts a diagonal path toward the village of Sherwood. This survey captures a moment of transition as traditional agricultural land and limestone extraction begin to share space with lakeside developments like Utowana Beach and Highland Beach.
