About this map

The settlement of Veseli sits at the southern edge of this mid-1970s landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural townships of Wheatland, Webster, and Cedar Lake. The area is defined by a dense cluster of glacial lakes including Bradshaw Lake, Lennon Lake, and Nash Lake, which dictated the winding paths of local roads and the drainage of Porter Creek. Genealogy researchers will find the St Johns Cem clearly marked near the town center, along with a local Townhall and Radio Tower that anchored the community's civic life.

Transportation and infrastructure are prominent, with the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific rail line cutting through the southeastern corner near Webster. Notable landmarks of the era include the Sharkey Landing Field and the expansive St Patrick State Wildlife Management Area, which preserved a significant portion of the natural terrain as the surrounding townships continued to develop around traditional agricultural and industrial sites like the local Gravel Pit.
