1959 Map of Stonebank

About this map

Ashippun Lake and a dense network of glacial waterways define this mid-century landscape on the border of Dodge, Washington, and Waukesha Counties. The rural character of the era is anchored by small, active communities like Alderley, Mapleton, and Stonebank, each serving as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. Cultural life is clearly marked by the numerous country churches and schools, such as St Catherine Ch, St Olaf Ch, and Tamarack Sch, illustrating a settled landscape before the heavy suburban expansion of later decades.
