1974 Map of St. Cloud

About this map

Glacial geology and marshy lowlands define the landscape of eastern Fond du Lac County in the mid-1970s. The village of St Cloud and nearby Mt Calvary serve as central hubs, with the latter notably featuring the St Lawrence Seminary and the Villa Loretto Rest Home. The terrain is characterized by extensive conservation areas, including the Sheboygan Marsh State Wildlife Area to the northeast and the Mullet River State Wildlife Area to the south. Water plays a central role in the local economy and recreation, from the winding Sheboygan River to smaller basins like Wolf Lake and Paulys Lake. Numerous gravel pits across Marshfield and Greenbush townships indicate active mineral extraction during this period, while family-oriented landmarks such as Forest Home Cem and West Greenbush Cem provide essential data for local historians.
