Baraboo, Dells, and Devil's Lake Region

A regional guide surveys the geology, archaeology, and local history of the Baraboo Hills and adjacent lakes and river dells, illustrated with maps and photographs. It combines landscape descriptions of cliffs, glens, lakes, and waterfalls with accounts of indigenous earthworks, settler-era sites, museums, and notable residences and institutions. Chapters offer routes and natural-history notes for landmarks such as Devil's Lake, the Wisconsin River Dells, Mirror Lake, Pewit's Nest, and other glens, and record nearby antiquities, battlefield sites, and places associated with prominent local figures. Practical orientation and interpretive commentary aim to inform visitors and residents about the region's scenic and scientific interest.
