1960 Map of Whitewater

About this map

The city of Whitewater serves as the focal point of this survey, anchored by the campus of Wisconsin State University and a series of local schools including Central Sch and West Side Sch. The urban landscape transitions rapidly into the distinct glacial topography of the Kettle Moraine State Forest, where the terrain is marked by ridges and depressions. To the south, the waters of Rice Lake and Whitewater Lake provide a recreational contrast to the industrial and agricultural surroundings, supported by features like a Fish Hatchery and numerous gravel pits.
