1951 Map of Wheaton

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The town of Wheaton serves as the focal point of this Traverse County landscape, situated at the junction of the Great Northern and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads. The era’s agricultural character is defined by an exceptionally high density of numbered rural school districts, ranging from School No 27 in the north to School No 55 in the south, suggesting a once-populous farming community. The Mustinka River and its various channels, including the Mustinka Ditch and the West Branch, carve through the prairie, regulated in part by a Gaging Station near the town center.
