1959 Map of Sturtevant
USGS Topo · Published 1989About this map
The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad forms the industrial spine of this landscape, anchoring the growing village of Sturtevant and the adjacent industrial area at Waxdale. This mid-century survey captures the agricultural transition of eastern Wisconsin as smaller rural settlements like Ives Grove and Sylvania remain distinct points on the map. The landscape is defined by its educational and social infrastructure, featuring a high density of country schools such as Tucker Sch, Barlett Sch, and St Bonaventure Sch, along with numerous family cemeteries like Paris Cem and Sylvania Cem. Large recreation and conservation areas are established at Petrifying Springs Park and Evans County Park, while the Root River and Pike River drain the surrounding fields of Yorkville and Mount Pleasant.
