1975 Map of Reedsburg East

About this map

The Baraboo River winds through the southern landscape of Sauk County, serving as a primary geographic anchor for the city of Reedsburg during the mid-1970s. This period captures a balance between municipal expansion and the preservation of the driftless area's natural contours. The city's infrastructure is well-defined by the Chicago and North Western railroad line and the Reedsburg Municipal Airport, while the northern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling wetlands of the Dell Creek State Wildlife Area. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several burial sites including Glenwood Cem and All Saints Cem. Notable elevations like Rattlesnake Knob and Coon Bluff define the northeastern horizon, while the transition from agricultural tracts to the growing outskirts of the city is evident in the placement of the Middle Sch and Reedsburg Memorial Hospital.
