About this map

Truax Field and the expanding suburbs of Madison define the landscape of eastern Dane County during this mid-century period. The map documents a significant era of post-war growth, with residential developments pushing into Blooming Grove TWP and surrounding the shores of Lake Monona. This urbanization is evidenced by the high concentration of educational institutions established to serve the burgeoning population, including East Side High Sch, Monona Grove High Sch, and numerous parochial sites like St Bernards Sch.
