1962 Map of Apple River
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The Pecatonica River winds through the northern portion of this map, defining a landscape at the Wisconsin-Illinois border where rail transport once dictated the flow of local commerce. Near Riverside, the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific line parallels the river, while further south, the Illinois Central serves Apple River and Warren. This mid-century survey documents a rural society built around small school districts and family burial grounds, such as Dublin Sch, Red Rock Sch, and Highland Cem. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade north of Wolf Creek indicates the shifting nature of the regional transit network as older routes were superseded. Numerous quarries scattered across the townships of Darlington, Gratiot, and Monticello point to a local industry tied directly to the underlying limestone and geology of the driftless area.
