1962 Map of Arena

About this map

The Wisconsin River defines the landscape of this 1962 survey, separating the high bluffs of Troy and Spring Green from the flat expanse of Arena Prairie. This broad valley floor is home to the village of Arena, a hub centered on the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line. The map captures the agricultural character of the region during the early 1960s, showing a transition from the rugged northern hills like Point Bluff to the fertile bottomlands where smaller settlements like Cassell and Coon Rock reside.
