About this map

The Baraboo River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, anchoring the village of Rock Springs as a focal point of commerce and settlement in Sauk County. Moving south through the terrain, the small community of LaRue and the Flying B Airport mark the central corridor. The area is defined by a series of distinct landforms with evocative names, including Devils Washbowl, Devils Chair, and Camels Hump, which suggest a complex geological history.

Genealogists can locate several local landmarks such as Maple Hill Cemetery and Saint Paul Cemetery. Water management is evident along the tributaries of Seeley Creek, most notably at the Steinhorst and Coughlin G4851 Dam. The map also illustrates a network of named ridges and hollows like Elder Ridge and Herritz Hollow, detailing the rural character of the region before further modern development.
