USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The Wisconsin River carves through the central landscape of this mid-century survey, anchoring a region defined by the glacial legacy of the Kettle Moraine. Centered on Madison, the map documents the dense cluster of the Four Lakes—including Lake Mendota and Lake Monona—long before modern suburban sprawl fully connected these drainage basins. To the east, the vast expanse of Lake Winnebago and the marshes of the Horicon National Wildlife Refuge dominate the drainage patterns of the Fox River.
