2016 Map of Sun Prairie

About this map

Sun Prairie appears here as a significant hub of suburban growth and development in eastern Dane County during the mid-2010s. The dense network of streets, including Scotland Pkwy and Prairie View Dr N, highlights the rapid residential expansion that has come to characterize this area. Despite this growth, the landscape retains important ties to its rural roots and natural geography, visible in the winding course of Token Cr and the wetlands of the Maunesha River and Deansville Marsh. To the southeast, the small settlement of Pierceville and the Pierceville Cem provide a distinct contrast to the increasing urbanization nearby. This contrast between the modern residential layout of the city and the surrounding agricultural sections, such as those in t9n r11e, illustrates the shifting land use patterns typical of the Madison periphery during this era.
