1962 Map of Black Earth

About this map

Black Earth sits at the southwestern corner of this survey, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad follows the course of Black Earth Creek. The topography here is defined by high ridges and deep valleys, most notably the prominent Table Bluff and the wetland expanse of Marsh Valley. To the north, the small settlements of Roxbury and Marxville anchor a landscape of mixed agriculture and conservation, including the Mazomanie State Wildlife Area along the Wisconsin River corridor.
