2600 Square Miles of the Wildest Natural Beauty with Baraboo at the Hub

This charming promotional brochure of Baraboo, Wisconsin and the surrounding area was copyrighted by the Sauk County Publishing Company in 1937, nearly a century after the city was settled by its first white inhabitant. The lovely pictorial map highlights the central location amidst popular recreational areas (i.e. the Wisconsin Dells), urban centers (like Madison), and transportation hubs. Fishing spots are also highlighted in red. Accompanying text promotes the region’s bountiful accommodations, natural attractions, and myriad of opportunities for fun and leisure. Further text and photographs on the verso, along with a highway map of Wisconsin and basic strip maps of U.S. 12 and State Highway 13. Source.
