1959 Map of Baraboo

About this map

Badger Ordnance Works dominates the landscape south of the Wisconsin River in this late 1950s survey, marking a significant industrial and military presence near the Sumpter and Merrimac townships. The map documents the intricate topography of the Baraboo Range, including the dramatic bluffs around Devils Lake and the ancient landmark of Man Mound. To the south and east, the river winds through a terrain defined by glacial features and small agricultural communities like Lodi and Okee.
