Description

This peculiar map, the first of its kind created for any state, is an excellent way to discover the history, culture, land, and people of Wisconsin. Nearly 1500 points of interest are positioned at the map, including the sites of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House within the Big Woods near Pepin, the World’s Largest Fish Fry at Port Washington, John Muir’s boyhood farm near Montello, the Honor the Earth Pow Wow at Lac Court Oreilles, the nation’s first kindergarten in Watertown, Hoard’s Dairy Shrine in Fort Atkinson, the Pabst Mansion in Milwaukee, the great Peshtigo Fire, the Green Bay Packer Hall of Fame, and hundreds of other fascinating places.
    The front of the map shows all the state—topography, roads, waterways, historic sites and historical markers, archaeological areas, physical features and landscapes of cultural significance, notable architecture, areas of ethnic and non secular importance, historic communities, festivals and fairs, lighthouses, museums and tours, colleges, parks and recreational trails, rustic roads, and places with celebrated literary, musical, and artistic connections. The back shows many more sites of interest on smaller cultural maps of sixteen cities. The entire maps incorporate a shaded relief background that displays Wisconsin’s wealthy variation in land forms, making it imaginable to see how local cultures are inextricably linked to regional landscapes. Six small thematic maps emphasize this linkage and show historical changes in vegetation, population patterns, and local economies.
