1975 Map of Rock Springs
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Rock Springs sits at a strategic gap in the bluffs where the Baraboo River and the Chicago and North Western railway carve through the ridge line. This mid-1970s landscape is defined by its deep geological features and specialized transportation history, including the Mid-Continent Railway passing through the small settlement of La Rue. The terrain is marked by numerous landmarks such as Van Hise Rock and the Devils Chair, alongside an extensive network of rural cemeteries like Westfield Ch Cem and East Narrows Prairie Cem. Local industry is evidenced by several scattered quarries, particularly around the river bends. This map documents a period when private aviation was active at the Flying B Landing Strip, and rural community life centered around places like Wiedman Mem Park and various country churches.
