1968 Map of Wautoma

About this map

Wild Rose and the Wild Rose State Fish Hatchery anchor the eastern edge of this landscape, where the Pine River and Wild Rose Pond reflect the region's aquatic character. The area is defined by a dense concentration of cemeteries, including Bohemian Cem, Thomas Cem, Staples Cem, and Union Cem, providing a significant record for genealogical research in Waushara and Portage Counties. The Chicago and North Western railroad cuts diagonally across the northern townships of Almon and Belmont, passing near the small settlement of Heffron. In the southern half, the terrain transitions into the lake-strewn landscape of Chain Lake, Lake Wautoma, and Beans Lake. This survey preserves the rural network of named roads like Akron Drive and Apache Ave alongside local landmarks such as West Holden Ch and Mt Pleasant Cem.
