1980 Map of North Bristol

About this map

North Bristol and East Bristol anchor the rural landscape of this southern Wisconsin survey, where the border between Columbia and Dane Counties cuts across a network of established farmsteads and township roads. The drainage of the Crawfish River and Babcock Creek shapes the topography of Hampden and Otsego, while the Maunesha River flows through the southern section in Bristol. This 1980 map preserves the placement of localized community landmarks, such as the Hampden School and Hampden Cemetery, which served the surrounding agricultural families. Numerous family-named thoroughfares, including Monson Road, Conlon Road, and Hasey Road, reveal the enduring footprints of early settlers across the sections. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a centrally located Townhall underscores the local infrastructure supporting these townships as they appeared in the late twentieth century.
