1909 Map of Cross Plains
USGS Topo · Published 1922About this map
Cross Plains and the surrounding townships of western Dane County exhibit a distinct transition between the high ridges of the Driftless Area and the glaciated prairies. During this 1906–1907 survey, the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul RR served as a vital artery through the valley of Black Earth Creek, connecting early agricultural centers like Black Earth and Middleton. The landscape is dotted with small, communal hubs such as Springfield Corners, Martinsville, and Marxville, many established at rural crossroads before the rise of modern highways.
