1976 Map of Sparta NE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Sparta serves as the central hub of this Monroe County orthophotoquad, where the rigid grid of the city meets the meandering course of the La Crosse River. Based on aerial imagery from May 1976, the map reveals a landscape defined by sharp contrasts between urban development and the surrounding dairy country. The expansion of highways is evident, cutting through the farmland south and east of the city center. To the north, the small settlement of Angelo sits near the confluence of local waterways, including Silver Creek. Further south, the rural community of Leon anchors the lower portion of the sheet. This photographic survey provides a rare look at mid-1970s land use, capturing the precise layout of individual farmsteads and the emerging infrastructure of the Interstate era.
