1962 Map of Cross Plains

About this map

Mt Horeb and Cross Plains anchor this 1960s topographic study of western Dane County, revealing a landscape defined by the convergence of early rail lines and winding creek valleys. Two major corridors, the Chicago and North Western and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific, traverse the terrain, shaping the development of small rail-side communities like Klevenville. The map illustrates the region's cultural fabric through numerous rural institutions, including the Vermont Ch and several Catholic sites such as St Marys Sch and the St Ignatius Cem.
