1974 Map of Weston

About this map

The Eau Galle River corridor in western Wisconsin defines this landscape, where the rural settlements of Weston and Comfort anchor a network of agricultural valleys and wooded ridges. This mid-1970s survey captures the region's diverse land use, from active industrial sites like the Quarry in the northwest to conservation efforts at the Fish Hatchery and the Eau Galle River State Public Hunting Grounds. The map provides specific data for genealogists tracing local families in the Lucas and Weston townships, noting local burial grounds such as Lower Weston Cem and Irving Creek Cem. Numerous watercourses, including Knights Creek and Gilbert Creek, carve through the terrain, illustrating the traditional relationship between Wisconsin’s upland farming and the drainage systems of the Eau Galle watershed.
