1961 Map of Evansville

A notable geographic transition occurs near the Dane and Rock County line, where the terrain shifts from the marshy lowlands of Barney Swamp and Hook Lake to the rolling hills of the Rutland and Brooklyn townships. Numerous gravel pits pepper the landscape, signaling the local importance of aggregate mining in the early 1960s. For the researcher, the map preserves the locations of significant family and community landmarks, including Maple Hill Cem and Holy Cross Cem, alongside smaller hamlets like Butts Corners and Union.
