The melding of environments in Wisconsin creates a unique blend of wilderness and civilization. It is also a true melting pot of ethnic heritages. The top third of Wisconsin is forestland, dotted with 14,000 glacial lakes stocked with muskies, crappies, bass, and northern pike. The rest of the state is similarly blessed with great scenic beauty. Madison, the state capital, lies in the heart of Wisconsin. Not far from Madison are the resorts and theme parks of the Wisconsin Dells. (Courtesy of Rand McNally http://www.randmcnally.com)
