1962 Map of Portage
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Portage serves as a critical junction in this early 1960s survey, situated where the Wisconsin River and Fox River nearly meet. The landscape is defined by the historical portage path and a complex network of waterways, including Buffalo Lake, Swan Lake, and Dates Millpond. The area's mid-century character is evident in the rail infrastructure of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Chicago and North Western lines. Local heritage is preserved through numerous family and community sites like the Old Fort Winnebago Cem, Muir Memorial Park, and several country schools such as Dumke Sch and Marcellon Sch. The terrain rises at Observatory Hill and Madden Lakes, while the economy is marked by scattered Gravel Pits and the growth of communities like Pardeeville and Wyocena.
