About this map

The eastern shore of Lake Winnebago defines the western edge of this landscape, where recreation spots like Gladstone Beach and Linden Beach meet the limestone rise of the Ledge. This 1974 survey captures a moment in Fond du Lac County's development when agriculture and rural industry coexisted with growing residential pockets near St Peter and Mt Calvary. The terrain transition is marked by numerous Gravel Pits, indicating the geological utility of the glacial drift common to the region.

Transportation history is written across the land in the form of the Old Railroad Grade running east from Silica toward Malone. Local heritage is anchored by institutional landmarks such as St Charles Chapel, St Pauls Sch, and the Taft Sch. From the Sheboygan River headwaters in the south to the South Branch Manitowoc River in the north, the map documents the intricate drainage and settlement patterns of the Taycheedah and Marshfield townships.
