About this map

Edgerton stands as a hub of rail and water activity in this early 1960s survey, with 1971 revisions highlighting the town's expansion. The Chicago Milwaukee ST Paul And Pacific railroad cuts through the center of the community, which is flanked by Legion Park and Fassett Cemetery. To the northeast, the shoreline of Lake Koshkonong meets the Dane and Jefferson County lines, while the Rock River winds southward through Newville and Indianford.

The landscape is dotted with rural educational and aviation landmarks, including the Albion Sch, Cox Sch, and the Tobacco City Airport. To the south, the Rock River Landing Strip and Willing Pond characterize the open country of Fulton and Milton townships. This map captures a specific era of development before modern highway adjustments, preserving the locations of numerous gravel pits and the Fish Hatchery along the riverbanks.
