1967 Map of Arkdale

About this map

Petenwell Lake and Castle Rock Lake dominate the western boundary of this landscape along the Wisconsin River, where the waters shift between wide reservoirs and the natural course of Big Roche a Cri Creek. The area is characterized by organized rural blocks, where long-established farming communities like Monroe Center and Strongs Prairie are anchored by their respective burial grounds. Toward the southeast, the village of Arkdale sits adjacent to Arkdale Lake, which features a recorded spillway. The presence of numerous cemeteries, including West Arkdale Cem and Edwardson Cem, alongside the Roche a Cri Sch, provides a detailed record of the social infrastructure supporting these central Wisconsin townships during the mid-to-late 20th century.
