2013 Map of Columbus

About this map

The Crawfish River meanders through the landscape of south-central Wisconsin, anchoring the development of Columbus. This 2013 survey illustrates the town's modern street grid, which is clustered tightly around the river bend, featuring historic corridors like S Main St and W James St. The surrounding countryside is defined by a systematic network of rural routes and family-named roads such as Boelte Rd and Mickelson Rd, reflecting the agricultural heritage of Columbia County. South of the main settlement, the Mathaire Field Airport stands as a notable aviation landmark situated near Nolan Cr. The map captures the significant transition of regional travel, showing where Old Hwy 73 and the newer State Road 73 Temkin Rd diverge, offering a clear record of 21st-century infrastructure layered over traditional farmstead boundaries.
