1975 Map of Reedsburg West

About this map

Lake Redstone dominates the northern landscape of this mid-1970s survey, its winding shoreline creating a central focus for recreation and early residential development at Lake Redstone County Park. The Baraboo River carves a path through the center of the sheet, followed closely by the Chicago and North Western railway, which connects the primary settlements of La Valle and Reedsburg. This transportation corridor highlights the region's movement from agricultural reliance toward industrial hubs, evidenced by the Industrial Waste Ponds and the cluster of civic and educational buildings in Reedsburg, such as City Hall, Webb High Sch, and St Peters Sch. Away from the river valley, the terrain rises toward heights like Thieman Hill and Lighthouse Rock, while rural life is marked by numerous family and community landmarks including St Patricks Cem, Babb Cem, and Resting Green Cemetery.
