1974 Map of Baraboo NW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Baraboo and its surrounding rural landscapes are captured here in high-contrast aerial detail from a 1974 orthophotoquad. The imagery provides a clear view of the town's grid and the meandering path of the Baraboo River as it cuts through the valley floor. To the south, the deep, dark basin of Devils Lake is framed by the heavy forestation of the surrounding quartzite bluffs, creating a sharp visual contrast between the water and the complex textures of the woodland and agricultural fields. This mid-1970s perspective shows the transition from the concentrated urban core of the county seat into the expansive patchwork of southern Wisconsin farmland, documenting the era's land use patterns and forest cover before decades of later development changed the local footprint.
