This vintage map of Green Bay & Fort Howard, Wisconsin was created in 1867 and depicts the twin communities of Brown County. This restored edition brings the historic Green Bay map to life while preserving the original linework and the winding river, city streets, shorelines, docks, steamboats, and surrounding woodland and farmland.
About This Historic Map
Drawn from an elevated bird's-eye perspective, this map presents Green Bay and Fort Howard in the 1860s, when the area was shaped by its river commerce, steamboat traffic, growing street grid, and lakeside settlement. Across the view you can trace the river cutting through the heart of the two towns, with tidy blocks of homes spreading out on either bank and vessels moving along the water.
The map shows the neighboring communities of Green Bay and Fort Howard in Brown County, Wisconsin, along with the river and shorelines, the many docks and landings, and the ordered streets and villages that shaped life around Green Bay in the era.
For anyone who grew up along the bay, has family roots in northeastern Wisconsin, or still calls Green Bay home, this map is more than a historic view. It captures the working riverfront, the steamboats on the water, and the early streets of a young city, along with the memories that keep families connected to Green Bay.
A statement piece for any room, this reproduction is printed using KNOWOL's restored version of the 1867 Green Bay & Fort Howard map, preserving the historic character of the original while adding depth, warmth, and visual clarity. It makes a meaningful addition to an office, library, den, family room, or local history collection.
