USGS Topo · Published 1906About this map
The Ismus between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona is the dense urban core of Madison in this 1904 survey, showing the state capital just as the motor age began. The University of Wisconsin campus occupies the southern shore of Lake Mendota, while landmarks like the State Hospital for the Insane and the Fair Grounds anchor the outskirts. Submerged contours printed in blue provide a rare view of the bathymetry of the Four Lakes, including Lake Waubesa and the smaller Lake Wingra.
