1953 Map of Stratford
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The Eau Pleine River and its various branches create a winding drainage network across this Central Wisconsin landscape, where agricultural development is punctuated by a dense grid of rural schools. Small communities like Stratford, Milan, and Fenwood serve as local hubs along the rail corridors of the Chicago and North Western and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie. The map documents a vanishing era of the rural schoolhouse, naming dozens of local institutions such as Hillcrest Sch, Silver Leaf Sch, and Marathon Pride Sch, alongside several that were already identified as inactive, including the Grant Sch (Abandoned). Beyond the town centers, the presence of numerous Gravel Pits and landmarks like the St Johannes Ch and Peace Cem provide specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists tracing family footprints in Marathon County.
