About this map

The Waupaca Chain O' Lakes district is meticulously detailed in this mid-century survey, showcasing the intricate network of water bodies and islands that define the Farmington and Dayton townships. Small settlements such as King and the rustic village of Rural sit adjacent to Rainbow Lake and McCrossen Lake, while larger communities like Waupaca serve as regional hubs for the surrounding dairy and agricultural lands. The landscape is dotted with a high density of rural schoolhouses, including Gards Corner Sch and Oakland Sch, indicating a well-established community infrastructure before the consolidation of rural districts.
