1959 Map of Madison West

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Lake Mendota and Lake Monona define the mid-century urban expansion of Madison, where the state capital’s academic and civic institutions are deeply integrated with the glacial landscape. The University of Wisconsin campus dominates the southern shore of University Bay, stretching toward the University of Wisconsin Arboretum and the shores of Lake Wingra. This era shows a city in transition, with dense residential development in Shorewood Hills and Maple Bluff contrasted by the remaining open land in Fitchburg to the south.
