1978 Map of Stangelville

About this map

Stangelville and the surrounding rural townships of Montpelier, West Kewaunee, Franklin, and Carlton anchor this landscape of family farms and glacial terrain. The map captures the agricultural heart of Kewaunee County, where high ground like the Montpelier Hills and Cherneyville Hill drops into the drainage basins of the Twin River, Scarboro Creek, and Black Creek. Small hamlets and rural crossroads centers serve the farming community, marked by landmarks such as the St Paul Sch & Ch, the Townhall near Ellisville, and the St Wenceslaus Ch in Pilsen. A dense network of local roads, many bearing family names like Gasche Road, Stodola Road, and Beckelberg Road, connects these dispersed settlements. To the east, the Little Scarboro State Public Hunting Grounds and Lipsky Swamp indicate a shift toward more wooded, low-lying wetlands preserved for public use.
