1962 Map of Arena

About this map

The Wisconsin River divides this landscape, where the flat agricultural expanse of Arena Prairie meets the dissected upland ridges of the driftless area. Settlement is concentrated along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific rail line, which anchors the village of Arena. To the north, the small community of Cassell sits near the riverbanks, surrounded by complex valley systems like Federman Valley and Badger Valley. The map reveals a rural economy rooted in the land, showing multiple quarries and landmarks such as Coon Rock Cave and Point Bluff. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, including Arena Cem and Davis Cem, as well as the location of St Johns Ch in the southern hills.
