1901 Map of The Dells

About this map

The Wisconsin River carves a dramatic path through this region, forming the distinctive geological formations of the Lower Dells. Near the settlement of Kilbourn, the river is flanked by numerous named landmarks such as Witches Gulch, Coldwater Canyon, Artists Glen, and the prominent Elephants Back. These features illustrate the area's early character as a center for river-based tourism and scenic interest at the turn of the century.
