About this map

Waterville serves as the hub of this mid-1960s landscape, positioned where the Chicago Great Western railroad tracks meet the waters connecting Tetonka Lake and Sakatah Lake. The town's infrastructure is detailed, including a Fish Hatchery and local schools, while the surrounding rural townships of Iosco and Blooming Grove are dotted with family-named landmarks and country cemeteries.

A network of local history is preserved in the placement of numerous church graveyards like Calvary Cem and St Jarlath Ch Cem. To the east, Sakatah State Park borders Lower Sakatah Lake, showing the early footprint of state-managed recreation. The map provides depth soundings for the primary lakes, offering a clear view of the underwater topography alongside the terrestrial terrain of McPete Point and The Narrows.
