1969 Map of Waupaca

About this map

Waupaca serves as the focal point of this late 1960s survey, showing its development around the winding Waupaca River and several glacial lakes. The town center is densely built, containing the Armory, Waterworks, and the Waupaca High Sch. To the south and west, the landscape transitions into a mosaic of wetlands and small kettle lakes, such as Mirror Lake and Shadow Lake. Transport patterns are defined by the Soo Line railroad and a grid of rural roads like Townsend Road and Bunker Hill Road. The survey reveals a community balanced between industry and recreation, noting the Waupaca Country Club and the Drive-in Theater alongside local quarries. Scattered settlements like Little Hope and Lind Center remain connected by the winding Walla Walla Creek, illustrating the era's agricultural and small-town infrastructure.
