1960 Map of Richland Center

About this map

Richland Center serves as the focal point of this 1960 Wisconsin survey, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad tracks trace the course of the Pine River. This landscape is defined by its ridge-and-hollow topography, including named features like Horse Ridge and Hulster Ridge that separate the various branches of the river system. The map documents a dense network of rural infrastructure, from the County Fairground and Radio Tower (WRCO) near the city to the numerous district schools like Fiddlers Green Sch and Rocky Branch Sch tucked into the valleys.
