Horicon Marsh State Wildlife Area dominates the northern reaches of this mid-1980s survey, representing a vast glacial wetland complex that defines the regional hydrology alongside the Rock River. To the southeast, the landscape transitions from the agricultural open spaces of Dodge Co and Jefferson Co into the increasingly suburbanized corridors of Waukesha and Brookfield on the edge of the Milwaukee metropolitan area. This era shows a well-established transportation network where the Chicago and North Western and Milwaukee Road railways intersect historic settlements like Watertown and Oconomowoc. The map detail highlights the numerous kettle lakes of the Kettle Moraine State Forest and the prominent landmark of Holy Hill, illustrating the unique post-glacial topography that has influenced both the conservation of wildlife areas and the placement of early Wisconsin villages.
