1974 Map of Spring Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Spring Lake and the surrounding prairie wetlands of Walworth County dominate this mid-1970s topographical record. The landscape is shaped by the presence of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which cuts northwest through the territory, passing the small settlement of Alamo. Evidence of earlier transport is visible in the Old RR Gr noted further north, suggesting shifts in the local rail network over time. Conservation efforts are well-established here, with the Spring Lake State Public Shooting Area and the National Waterfowl Production Area encompassing significant portions of the shoreline and adjacent marshlands. Smaller water bodies like Swan Lake and the winding Swan Creek punctuate the grid of section lines, while a lone Cem and a Radio Tower serve as the few human-made landmarks in this sparsely populated agricultural region.
