1952 Map of Cuba City

About this map

Cuba City and Benton anchor this 1952 topographic study of the rolling borderlands between Wisconsin and Illinois, a landscape shaped by both agriculture and a legacy of lead and zinc extraction. The presence of Burkett Mine, multiple labeled Tailings piles, and an Inactive Mine southeast of Hazel Green reveals the intensive subsurface activity that once drove the local economy. The terrain is deeply incised by the Sinsinawa River and the Galena River, with the latter featuring a Gaging Station near the southern border.
