1905 Map of Sun Prairie

Water and wetlands significantly influenced local land use, from the expansive Brazee Swamp in the north to the lowlands surrounding Goose Lake and Mud Lake. Natural drainage patterns provided by Waterloo Creek and Koshkonong Creek are clearly delineated alongside vanished post offices and small localities like Nora and Door Creek. In the south, the village of Cambridge anchors the corner of the map, while Liberty Mound stands out as a distinct topographic landmark amidst the mosaic of family farms and rural road networks.
