Nifty Map

This is a portion of a pictorial map showing historical events and locations within the state of Wisconsin, as well as waterways and counties. You'll notice the Nicolet landing is attributed to the Green Bay area, though we still get credit for Glory of the Morning.  More about her as the week progresses.  

The map was created in 1932 though the caption on the bottom reads:"Published by the Milwaukee Sentinel commemorating its one hundredth anniversary June 27, 1937. Approved by the Wisconsin Conservation Commission. Checked and approved by Dr. Joseph Shafer, superintendent of the Historical Society of Wisconsin, and Dr. Louise Phelps Kellogg, senior research associate. Endorsed by the Wisconsin State Chamber of Commerce. Litho. in U.S.A."

The full map can be viewed here:
