1962 Map of Brodhead
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The Sugar River corridor serves as the central artery for this early 1960s landscape, connecting the manufacturing and transport hubs of Brodhead and Albany. The presence of the Chicago Milwaukee ST Paul And Pacific and Chicago And North Western railroads highlights the region's importance as a rail-linked agricultural and industrial center. Beyond the town centers, the map reveals a dense network of local landmarks, including the Landing Field south of Brodhead, numerous rural schools like Riley School and Davis Sch, and various churches such as West Luther Valley Ch. The terrain transitions from the developed river valleys to the outlying townships like Magnolia and Spring Grove, where many family cemeteries, such as Mt Hope Cem and Clarence Cem, provide valuable data for genealogists tracing the area's rural settlement patterns.
