1942 Map of Menomonie
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Menomonie serves as the hub of this 1940s landscape, where the Cedar River feeds into Lake Menomin and the Chicago and North Western rail line meets the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific. The area is characterized by a dense network of rural school districts, including Knapp Settlement School, Beyer Settlement School, and Evergreen Valley School, which anchor the small farming communities of the era. Northward, the Tainter Lake reservoir is surrounded by landmarks like Heson Bluff and Hanke Hill. The industrial and civic development of the time is evidenced by the County Asylum, the County Home, and the railroad infrastructure at Menomonie Junc. From the river village of Downsville to the cemetery at Little Elk Creek Cem, the map documents a transition from established river towns to more specialized rural institutions.
