About this map

Green Bay and the coastal wetlands of the Sensiba State Wildlife Area dominate the eastern edge of this mid-1970s survey. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Little Suamico River and the Suamico River, which supported early regional development. Inland, the map reveals a network of small communities including Sobieski, Flintville, and Tremble, often centered around rail crossings and local industry.

Evidence of the area's geological and human history is clear in the numerous sandpits, gravel pits, and a quarry scattered across the township lines of Little Suamico and Suamico. Religious and community landmarks like St Pats Church and St Benedict Cem serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The dual presence of the Chicago and North Western and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads underscores the importance of rail transport to this part of the Wisconsin shoreline during the era.
