1901 Map of Poynette

The map reveals a transition from the river-fed valleys of Wilson Creek and Rowan Creek to the marshy lowlands of the east, including Mud Lake and Goose Pond. The intricate platting of townships like Wyocena and Vienna highlights the established rural network of schools and farmsteads connected by the railroad's path toward Morrisonville. This survey provides a clear view of the region's transport-driven development before the modern expansion of Madison's northern reaches.
