1976 Map of Sparta NW

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The La Crosse River valley forms the central axis of this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, where the meandering river contrasts with the straight lines of modern transport corridors. This aerial view shows the concentrated layouts of Bangor and Rockland, both established along the primary east-west rail and road routes. The surrounding landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Burns Creek, Big Creek, and Fish Creek, which carve through the uplands. Unlike a standard topographic sheet, this imagery provides a direct look at the field boundaries, woodlots, and farmsteads as they existed during the 1976 flyover, offering genealogists a clear record of the rural land-use patterns in La Crosse County during the Bicentennial era.
