1978 Map of Valders

About this map

Collins Marsh State Wildlife Management Area dominates the western landscape of this 1970s survey, illustrating the significant preservation of wetlands along Mud Creek. The Manitowoc River meanders through the central terrain, passing the rocky feature at Cato Falls and several active Quarry sites that underscore the local geology. Human settlement is concentrated in the village of Valders and the historic community of St Nazianz, where Lake Oschwald provides a focal point near the southern boundary. The transportation network is defined by the Soo Line railroad and a grid of family-named rural routes such as Danner Road, Baer Road, and Christel Road. Local life is further marked by the presence of St Peters Sch and the Valders Cem, serving as important anchors for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of Manitowoc County.
