1961 Map of Wild Rose

About this map

Glacial topography defines the village of Wild Rose and the surrounding townships of Springwater and Mount Morris in the early 1960s. The landscape is a dense cluster of kettle lakes and springs, including Kusel Lake, Silver Lake, and the expansive Pine Lake, which supports recreational sites like the Lutheran Camp. The Wild Rose State Fish Hatchery is located along the western edge of the village near Humphrey Creek, signaling the importance of the local watershed to both conservation and local industry.
