1975 Map of Big Spring

About this map

Big Spring and the surrounding township of New Haven characterize this 1970s landscape at the intersection of Adams and Columbia counties. The map captures a transition between the organized agricultural grids of Dell Prairie and the recreational developments surrounding Jordan Lake and Mason Lake. A distinct ecclesiastical presence is noted at Davis Corners Ch in the settlement of Davis Corners, while a centralized Townhall serves the community further east. The local economy and land use are visible through features like a Sandpit and Gravel Pit, alongside infrastructure such as the Radio Tower (WNNO) and the Sewage Disposal Ponds. The presence of numerous Campgrounds and a Golf Course reflects the area's mid-century evolution toward a vacation and leisure destination within the central Wisconsin plains.
