USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Lake Mendota and Lake Monona define the landscape of this 1959 survey, where the state capital is surrounded by a complex system of waterways and educational institutions. The University of Wisconsin campus occupies a prominent position on the southern shore of Lake Mendota, while the Arboretum and Forest Hill Cemetery represent significant preserved spaces within the growing city. To the northeast, Truax Field and the Mendota State Hospital signal the military and institutional presence that shaped the region’s mid-century development.
