1952 Map of Cuba City

About this map

Cuba City and Benton anchor this early 1950s survey of the Wisconsin-Illinois borderlands, a landscape defined by its deep mining heritage and rural schoolhouse network. The map reveals the industrial character of the era through numerous Inactive Mines, a Mine Dump, and Tailings piles near the Coon Branch. This region’s social fabric is visible in its remarkably dense distribution of local schools, including uniquely named sites like Hell Sch, Model Sch, and North Hollow Sch.
