1951 Map of Wabeno

About this map

Wabeno and neighboring Soperton serve as the primary hubs in this lake-dotted landscape of the early 1950s. The region is defined by the heavy timber and water resources of the Nicolet National Forest, where the Chicago and North Western railroad provides a vital transportation spine connecting northern timberlands to southern markets. The map reveals a community structured around small rural schools like Windfall Sch and Rummel Sch, alongside social centers such as the Indian Community Hall.
