Dane County
Dane County showcases a diverse topography characterized by its rolling hills and numerous lakes, primarily shaped by glacial activity during the last Ice Age. The terrain varies significantly, with elevations ranging from approximately 860 feet to 1,200 feet above sea level. The county is famously known for the Yahara River chain of lakes, which includes Lakes Mendota, Monona, Waubesa, and Kegonsa, forming an "isthmus" in Madison. This river system, combined with the surrounding hills, creates a picturesque landscape that is both scenic and ecologically rich. In addition to the lakes, the county features numerous parks and natural areas that highlight its topographical variety, including woodlands and prairies, contributing to the region's biodiversity and recreational opportunities.
