1932 Map of Prairie Du Chien

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Mississippi River islands and intricate sloughs dominate the western edge of this 1932 Crawford County landscape, where the Wisconsin River joins from the south. The city of Prairie du Chien serves as the regional hub, situated on the terrace above the floodplains and served by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad. The map reveals a highly structured upland agricultural society defined by topographic ridges, where numerous small schools such as Wall Ridge Sch, Bonney Sch, and Sevenmile Sch anchored local neighborhoods. In the north, Lynxville sits tight against the river bluffs, while the interior is marked by hamlets like Eastman and Hazen Corners. This era shows the early numbered highway system, including Highway No 35, weaving through the coulees and ridges before the modernization of the river's lock and dam system significantly altered the shoreline.
