These photos come from the Digital Archives of the University of Wisconsin. You can see all the jeep photos at the UW archives here and enter “jeep” into the search field.
The UW sits on the shore of Lake Mendota, so this photo might not have been taken too far from the University. I never got into ice-fishing when I lived in Madison, but lots of others enjoyed it.

Pat Hitchcock sits in her jeep. “Red Cross Gals” is painted on the windshield. There’s no date on the photo, but I’d imagine given the license plate this was taken in the U.S?
