Columbus Park

The players' green lies between the streams flowing from the waterfalls that feed Jensen's "prairie river." Contour lines show a gentle slope leading to the waterfalls.

The stage area is the open and relatively flat area atop a slight rise. A stream separates the stage from the audience.

Thick vegetation surrounds these dressing rooms. Here actors changed into costume unseen from the audience before going on stage.

During performances, the audience sits here. The rise in the slope of the land helps people see the stage.

These dense contour lines show how the stage area is nestled into the land that gently slopes toward the streams.

The land between the players' green and the river gently rises as it gets closer to the river.

This portion of a 1916 topographical map shows the players' green as if you are looking down on it. Topographical maps use "contour lines" or two-dimensional symbols to describe three-dimensional variations in terrain. The closer together the lines, the steeper the slope of the land.
