1975 Map of Wisconsin Dells South

About this map

Wisconsin River waters flow past the northern resort communities of Wisconsin Dells and Lake Delton in this mid-1970s survey. The landscape is a transition between the recreation-focused north, featuring Mirror Lake State Park and Lake Blass, and the agricultural south where Hogsback Ridge and the North Range define the horizon. Transportation infrastructure is prominent, with the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line and the Baraboo-Dells Airport supporting the region's connectivity. Local history is anchored by rural landmarks such as Butterfield Cem and Webster Prairie Cem, while the conservation efforts of the Dell Creek State Wildlife Area protect the marshes of Dell Creek. Prominent geological features like Rattlesnake Knob and Coon Bluff rise above the surrounding valleys, marking the distinct topography of Dellona and Excelsior townships.
