1983 Map of Kendall West

About this map

The divide between the Baraboo River and the Kickapoo River systems defines this 1983 survey of Monroe County. High ridges like Dorset Ridge and South Ridge separate deep-cut valleys such as Cold Spring Valley and Fox Valley. In the southeast, the village of Kendall marks a key point on the landscape, connected to the western terrain by the Elroy-Sparta State Trail, which follows an old rail alignment through Tunnel No 1. Cultural landmarks dot the rural sections, including St Matthew Ch and its accompanying St Matthew Cem near Pleasant Ridge, while the Dorset Ridge Sch remains a focal point for the uplands. Dozens of small quarries and gravel pits throughout the townships of Wilton and Wellington reflect the local extractive industry that supported the development of road networks like Drysdale Avenue.
