1970 Map of Whiting

About this map

The Wisconsin River dominates the western half of this Portage County landscape, weaving around Fields Island and passing the industrial infrastructure of the local Powerplant. To the north, the southern edge of Stevens Point transitions into the village of Whiting, where residential neighborhoods surround McDill Pond and the River Pines Sanatorium. The area is a study in mid-century civic development, showing the expansion of Plover and its grid of named streets like Prairie Drive and Birch Street.
