1960 Map of Silver Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Fox River and Des Plaines River define this southeastern Wisconsin landscape, which was undergoing a significant transition in the early 1960s. The map clearly delineates the extensive footprint of the Richard Bong Air Force Base (Abandoned), a site that was famously halted mid-construction. This massive federal interruption sits between agricultural townships like Brighton and Paris, contrasting with the established character of villages like Union Grove and Kansasville.
