1959 Map of De Forest
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
De Forest and the surrounding township of Windsor reflect a mid-century agricultural landscape on the verge of suburban expansion toward the city of Madison. The map is punctuated by an exceptional concentration of rural schoolhouses, such as Wangsness Sch, Vincent Sch, and Wilcox Sch, signaling the persistence of localized education districts even as larger hubs like Windsor began to consolidate. Along the southern edge, the extensive footprint of Truax Field and nearby developments like Reindahl Park mark the urban-rural interface.
