Lake Geneva and Lake Delavan anchor this mid-century portrait of southern Wisconsin lake country. The map showcases the sophisticated recreational and institutional landscape of the early 1960s, notably the sprawling grounds of the Northwestern Military & Naval Academy and the world-renowned Yerkes Observatory overlooking Williams Bay. The era’s transportation network is clearly defined, with the Chicago and North Western and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads serving the lakeside communities.
