About this map

Lake Wisconsin and the sweeping Wisconsin River dominate the northern landscape of this mid-1970s orthophotograph, where the water's edge meets a patchwork of structured farmland. The city of Lodi serves as the primary inland hub, its street grid and residential expansion clearly visible against the surrounding agricultural fields. This aerial-based survey provides a precise visual record of land use at a time when the boundary near Dane Co was defined by distinct rural-to-urban transitions. The imagery captures the physical relationship between the river valley and the development patterns of the region, offering a clear view of the area's geography before decades of modern development altered the woodland and field boundaries.
