About this map

Waupun serves as the focal point of this 1980 survey, anchored by the significant presence of the State Prison and the adjacent State Prison Farm. The city's grid is meticulously detailed, showing local landmarks like City Hall, the Library, and several educational institutions including Lincoln Sch and Washington Sch. The landscape is a mix of agricultural utility and natural conservation, dominated in the southeast by the expansive Horicon National Wildlife Refuge and the winding course of the West Branch Rock River.

Rural life is marked by small crossroads such as Ladoga and Rogersville, alongside numerous family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find interest in the various burial grounds scattered across the townships, from the Wedge Prairie Cem to the Norwegian Ch Cem. The Chicago and North Western railroad line provides a historical transit spine through the region, connecting the industrial and agricultural outskirts with the town center.
