1975 Map of Horicon NE

About this map

Agricultural patterns and extensive wetlands dominate this mid-1970s orthophotoquad of Dodge County. The eastern fringe of the Horicon Marsh Wildlife Area is visible along the western margin, illustrating the sharp transition between protected marshland and the rectilinear grid of Wisconsin dairy country. This aerial view provides a literal snapshot of the landscape's texture, showing the dense woodlots and sprawling fields that surround the local centers of Mayville and Iron Ridge. To the south, the waters of Sinnissippi Lake break the terrestrial pattern, serving as a primary hydrologic feature. The map reveals the precise layout of farmsteads and transport corridors connecting these rural hubs, including the residential footprint of Horicon at the marsh's edge.
