1962 Map of New Glarus

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the East Blue Mounds Ch in the north to numerous rural burial grounds like Exeter Cem and Oak Hill Cem. The map captures the physical geography of the region before significant modern expansion, highlighting distinctive natural features such as Devils Chimney and Mt Julia. Near Belleville, the presence of Lake Belle View and the surrounding marshlands illustrate the importance of the river system to the development of these Dane and Green County townships. The preservation of the local landscape is noted at New Glarus Woods State Park, situated just south of the main village.
