1959 Map of Stonebank

About this map

Okauchee Lake and North Lake dominate the southern portion of this landscape, where the Oconomowoc River flows through a series of interconnected basins. The area reflects a mid-century agricultural and recreational character, with the Chicago and North Western railway cutting across the terrain toward settlements like Mapleton and Stonebank. In the northern sections, the Ashippun River winds past rural crossroads such as Alderley and several traditional country churches including St Paul Ch and St Olaf Ch. Local education and community life are anchored by neighborhood landmarks like the Mapleton Sch and the Townhall. The presence of the Oconomowoc Landing Field and numerous gravel pits suggests a period of local utility and infrastructure development alongside the established lakeside communities of Chenequa and Oconomowoc.
