1975 Map of North Freedom SE

About this map

Badger occupies the northeast corner of this orthophotoquad, showing the geometric layout of the massive industrial and military facility during the mid-1970s. The landscape of Sauk County is otherwise defined by an intricate network of agricultural fields and woodlots, where contour plowing and strip cropping patterns are clearly visible across the undulating terrain. Toward the southern portion of the image, the Lodi Mill site stands along a winding stream corridor, representing the small-scale industrial history of the rural region. Unlike a standard topographic map, this aerial survey provides a direct visual record of the land use and forest cover exactly as it appeared in 1975, capturing the density of timber in the ravines and the precise boundaries of family farms.
