1975 Map of Horicon NW

About this map

Horicon Marsh Wildlife Area dominates the northeastern corner of this 1975 orthophoto map, showcasing the intricate water patterns and vegetation of the vast wetland. This photographic survey reveals the mid-1970s agricultural and municipal landscape of Dodge County, where the geometric precision of farm fields contrasts sharply with the winding course of the Rock River. The settlement at Horicon is clearly visible along the river's edge, serving as a gateway to the marsh. To the west, the village of Minnesota Junction and the city of Juneau appear as clusters of development connected by a network of rural roads. This format provides an unfiltered view of land use, from the dense residential blocks in Juneau to the massive open-water expanses and conservation lands that define the local environment during this era.
