1959 Map of Waterloo
USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
The Maunesha River winds through the heart of Waterloo, creating a distinctive riverside settlement at the edge of Jefferson County during the late 1950s. This survey reveals a landscape heavily influenced by glacial activity, evidenced by the numerous Gravel Pit operations and the marshy expanses of Mud Lake and Chub Lake. The industrial and transit corridor is defined by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which links Waterloo to the small hamlet of Hubbleton to the east. Local social centers are well-documented, from the St John Sch and Firemen Park in town to rural landmarks like St Wenceslaus Ch. Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial grounds throughout the countryside, including Washington Cem, Moravian Cem, and the remote Island Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted family farmsteads that once populated the surrounding townships.
