This folio illustrates a number of scenic areas in the region known as the Wisconsin Dells, the word derived from the French ‘dalles’, or narrows. The more formal name is the Dells of the Wisconsin River. There is also a nearby city that uses the same name. This folio design emphasizes the historical presence of the Native Americans in the area.
