About this map

Weyauwega serves as the focal point of this late 1960s survey, situated where the Waupaca River widens into Weyauwega Lake. The town's layout includes civic landmarks like the Waupaca County Fairground and the Waupaca County Hospital, while the Soo Line railroad provides a clear industrial corridor through the township. To the east, the landscape transitions into the expansive wetlands of Partridge Lake and the winding Wolf River, where Gills Landing and Decker Memorial County Park mark important river access points.

Rural life is detailed through a dense network of family-named roads such as Zastrow Road and Kriese Road, alongside numerous small burial grounds like Butternut Ridge Cem and Hatton Cem. The presence of several gravel pits and the Gaging Station on the river indicates an era of active resource management and infrastructure monitoring. This documentation preserves the mid-century character of Waupaca County before modern residential expansion altered these traditional agricultural and riverfront spaces.
