The isthmus city of Madison is shown here as the early 20th-century hub of Dane County, defined by its position between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona. The expansion of the city is evident in the dense street grids that reach toward Elmside and the University of Wisconsin campus on the shores of University Bay. Beyond the urban core, the landscape is shaped by the Yahara River and its tributary system, connecting the larger lakes with Lake Wingra and Lake Waubesa.
