Atlas' of Oshkosh posted online

http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/WI/subcollections/OshkoshAtlasesAbout.shtml

Illustrated Atlas of Winnebago County by George A. Randall, 1889.    

  City maps show ward boundaries, subdivisions of blocks and lots, railroads, streetcar lines, schools, churches, governmental buildings, selected larger businesses and residences of some businessmen.  Maps of Oshkosh start on page 74; the Sixth ward is on page 80. 

 Atlas of the City of Oshkosh, Wis. by Harvey W. Leach, 1895, shows the streets, churches, schools and businesses, and also sections of Sawyer Creek which have since disappeared.  This atlas is the first after the division from six wards to 13.

 Map and plat book of Winnebago County, Wisconsin: containing plats and diagrams of every city, town and village in the county ... Gorman and Saudea, 1909.         

This atlas has city maps show wards, railroads and streetcar lines as well as streets. Not as detailed as the other two, but still useful. Since the whole city is on one page, the wide space between the Sixth and Twelfth wards really shows.
