About this map

Tomah anchors the northeastern corner of this 1976 orthophotograph, a year when the city's residential and industrial expansion was clearly etched into the Wisconsin landscape. The bird's-eye view provided by this survey, derived from imagery taken by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey, reveals the distinct contrast between the urban grid surrounding Lake Tomah and the vast agricultural patterns to the south. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the small settlement of Ridgeville serves as a landmark amidst a complex network of contour-plowed fields and woodlots. This visual record captures the transition of rural Monroe County during the mid-1970s, documenting how transportation corridors began to bisect traditional farmsteads and influence the growth of regional hubs.
