About this map

Lohrville and the hamlet of Spring Lake anchor this 1961 landscape in Waushara County, defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and wetlands. The Chicago and North Western railroad cuts a diagonal path through the southeastern corner, passing near several quarries and gravel pits that suggest a local economy tied to the land's geology. Rural life is well-documented through landmarks like the Mountain View Sch, Holden Ch, and the Marion Cem.

Water is the dominant feature, with large bodies such as Silver Lake, Fish Lake, and Lake Lucerne providing clear landmarks. To the north, the prominence of Mount Morris overlooks Morris Lake and the expansive Wautoma Swamp. This survey also captures specialized sites like Camp Lucerne and a remote Landing Strip, illustrating the mix of recreational and agricultural land use in mid-century central Wisconsin.
