1957 Map of Madison

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Lake Winnebago dominates the northeastern corner of this regional landscape, where the city of Fond du Lac and neighboring North Fond du Lac serve as anchors for the Fox River Valley's industrial and agricultural reach. To the west, the Baraboo Range rises as a distinct geological landmark, overlooking the sprawl of the Badger Ammunition Plant and the recreational waters of Lake Wisconsin. The map detail reveals a densely interconnected network of small towns and rural post offices like Friesland, Pickett, and Dalton, all linked by the Chicago & North Western and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul & Pacific railroads.
