1965 Map of Hanska
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Linden Lake and the nearby settlement of Hanska anchor this 1960s topographic study of the Brown County landscape. The map reveals an intensive agricultural drainage system, dominated by an intricate network of waterways including Judicial Ditch No 67 and Judicial Ditch No 34, which reshaped the local hydrology, notably seen in the Dane Lakebed. The Chicago and North Western railroad provides a clear industrial corridor through the western portion of the quadrangle, passing through Hanska and northward past Searles. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is dense with family-centric landmarks, such as Nora Ch and several rural burying grounds including St Johns Cem and Mt Pisgah Cem. The meandering Little Cottonwood River cuts across the northern section, providing a sharp contrast to the straight-line drainage ditches and grid-based township boundaries of Cottonwood, Linden, and Sigel.
