1973 Map of Vienna West

About this map

Vienna sits at the eastern edge of this 1970s landscape, positioned at a junction of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Burlington Northern railroads. This intersection highlights the area's role as a transit hub for agricultural goods within Clark County. The surrounding terrain is defined by its numerous state-managed conservation and recreational lands, most notably the expansive Dry Lake No 2 State Public Shooting Area and the Dry Lake basin. These wetlands and public shooting areas, including the Valberg-Lamb State Public Shooting Area and Hamre State Public Shooting Area, suggest a landscape heavily utilized for seasonal hunting and waterfowl management. Local history is anchored by markers like Townhall, the Vienna Cem, and the Pleasant Cem, which provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in the townships of Merton, Foxton, and Pleasant.
