About this map

Lake Kegonsa and Lake Waubesa anchor the northern landscape of this Dane County study, where the Yahara River connects a chain of glacial water bodies. The terrain reflects a post-war transition, balancing agricultural townlands with emerging recreational and suburban infrastructure. Specialized transportation hubs like the Quams Marina Seaplane Base on Barbers Bay and the Hoonch-Na-Shee-Kaw Airport southwest of Oregon indicate the era's diversifying aviation and leisure needs.

Southward, the landscape becomes more rural through the township of Rutland, following the drainage of the Rutland Branch toward the Badfish Creek State Wildlife Area. Local education and community life are marked by the Oakside Sch and Lakeside Sch, while the Rutland Center Cem provides a primary point of reference for genealogists tracking family heritage in the historic Stone and Rutland settlements during the early 1960s.
