About this map

Devils Lake State Park and the rugged topography of the Baraboo Range define this mid-1970s landscape. This survey documents a critical conservation era, highlighting the Ice Age National Scientific Reserve alongside the massive Badger Army Ammunition Plant to the south. The city of Baraboo serves as the regional hub, where the Baraboo River meanders past the Fairground and local institutions like St Josephs Sch and the Courthouse.

Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous small burial grounds, including Walnut Hill Cemetery and the family-named Jones Cem and Brewster Cem. The map also captures the transport network of the Chicago and North Western railroad and specialized landmarks such as the International Crane Foundation and the unique archaeological site at Man Mound Park. From the depths of Devils Lake to the heights of South Bluff, the map provides an exacting record of Sauk County's glacial heritage and industrial footprint.
