1959 Map of Madison
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The Isthmus between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona anchors this detailed look at Madison and its surrounding townships during a period of significant post-war expansion. The State Capitol and the sprawling University of Wisconsin campus serve as the urban core, while the University of Wisconsin Arboretum preserves green space along the shores of Lake Wingra. Surrounding the city, the landscape is dotted with rural identifiers of a passing era, from the Pumpkin Hollow Sch and Sanderson Sch to family-named burial grounds like the Matson Cem.
