1983 Map of Oakdale

About this map

The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad forms a vital corridor through the rolling hills of Monroe County, connecting the bustling hub of Tomah with the smaller settlement of Oakdale. In this 1980s landscape, the industrial footprint is clearly visible through numerous Quarries, Gravel Pits, and a prominent Weigh Station along the highway. The rural character of the region remains rooted in community landmarks such as Sunny Ridge Sch, St Michael Ch, and St Peter Ch. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like the Camels Hump and Stone Bluff, while the complex hydrology of the South Fork Lemonweir River and Council Creek systems dictates the local topography. At the edge of Tomah, the V A Hospital Bdy and Veterans Park denote significant public land use, providing a contrast to the surrounding agricultural and industrial zones.
