About This Historic Map

Drawn from an elevated bird's-eye perspective, this map presents Appleton in the 1860s, when the area was shaped by its Fox River, its water-powered mills, and its early railroads and streets. The overall view sweeps across the city from a high vantage, showing the tightly platted street grid on one bank, the winding river studded with islands and dams, and the wooded countryside rolling toward the horizon.

Notable landmarks shown on the map include the Fox River that runs through the heart of the scene, along with the mills, dams, docks, and many of the historic streets and neighborhoods that shaped life around Appleton in the 1860s.

For anyone who grew up in Appleton, raised a family along the Fox River, or still calls the Fox Valley home, this map is more than a historic view. It captures the river bends, the busy dams, and the early streets that first drew people here, and the memories that keep families connected to Appleton.
