439-31: Wisconsin River just downstream from US Hy 14 Bridge southeast of Spring Green, WI. (See also photo 439-30.) View to the southwest. (4May00)

429-20: Cut-off meanders of the Baraboo River about 2 miles east of Baraboo, WI. View is toward the southeast. The river flows to the east (left) in a contorted tree-lined channel. The river has a low gradient which will probably diminish as glacial rebound continues. (16Oct97)

429-16: Baraboo River about 3 miles east of Baraboo, WI. River flows from right to left. View is toward the southeast. (16Oct97)

440-27: Lower Narrows of the Baraboo Syncline through which the Baraboo River and WI Hy 33 pass. View toward the southwest. (30Jun00)

416-14: Cows cooling off in the Wisconsin River south of Sauk City, WI. (28Jul95)

421-04: Pheasant Branch Marsh, Middleton, WI. View to the north. A spring emerges from a group of trees at the base of Frederick's Hill and flows south through the marsh to Lake Mendota. (26Jul96)

438-26: Pheasant Branch Marsh, Middleton, WI. View to the northwest. A spring emerges from a group of trees at the base of Frederick's Hill and flows south through the marsh to Lake Mendota. The marsh is being surrounded on all sides by housing developments. There is concern that paved surfaces and increased groundwater pumping will threaten the spring and the wetland. (23Sep99)
