About this map

The Fox River carves a deep valley through this mid-1970s landscape, serving as the central artery for the village of Wrightstown. The river's industrial and hydro-electric history is evident at the Rapide Croche Dam, while the presence of Industrial Waste Ponds reflects the era's manufacturing footprint. Beyond the riverbanks, the terrain transitions into agricultural land and suburban pockets like Sniderville, crisscrossed by the Chicago and Northwestern railroad line.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including St Paul Cem, St Patrick Cem, and Riverside Cem. The preservation of natural spaces is marked by the Thousand Island State Conservancy Area, which protects the river's unique archipelago. This survey provides a clear view of the road network, from Mallard Road to the family-named Vander Wettering Road, just before the further expansion of the Green Bay metropolitan area.
