1901 Map of The Dells

About this map

The Wisconsin River carves a dramatic path through the center of this landscape, creating the iconic geological formations of the Lower Dells. By the late nineteenth century, the river had already shaped the regional economy, evident in the concentrated settlement at Kilbourn near the river's bend and the tourist-oriented names like Witches Gulch, Artists Glen, and Coldwater Canyon. The mapping reveals a complex natural topography including distinct landmarks like Rattlesnake Knob, The Haystacks, and Sheep Pasture Bluff.
