1952 Map of Cuba City
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Mining operations and agricultural centers define this corner of Southwest Wisconsin and Northern Illinois in the early 1950s. The landscape is marked by the lead and zinc mining legacy of the Upper Mississippi Valley, visible through numerous inactive mines, tailings, and the Burkett Mine. The Chicago and North Western railroad serves as a vital artery, connecting Cuba City and Benton to the wider region. Rural education and community life are well-documented by the many schoolhouses dotting the townships, including the Central Sch (Abandoned), Model Sch, and North Hollow Sch. Along the southern border, the Galena River and Sinsinawa River cut through the terrain, while landmarks like St Rose church and Mt Pleasant Cem provide essential anchor points for local genealogical research.
