1961 Map of Busseyville

About this map

Koshkonong Lake and its intricate northern shoreline anchor this landscape, where the Koshkonong River and Rock River converge amidst a network of marshes and bays. The map reveals a high concentration of ancient earthworks, specifically Sylvan Mounds to the north and Koshkonong Mounds near Vinnie Ha Ha, suggesting the long-standing significance of these waterways. Residential clusters like Koshkonong Manor and Carcajou occupy the lake's edge, while inland areas like Oakland maintain a rural character defined by local institutions such as Union Ch and Oakland Sch. The Chicago and North Western rail line cuts through the eastern terrain, serving a region punctuated by numerous Gravel Pits and small water bodies like Red Cedar Lake and Lake Ripley.
