1889 Map of Evansville

USGS Topo · Published 1889

About this map

Glacial topography and early rail corridors define this late nineteenth-century survey of the borderlands between Dane, Rock, and Green Counties. The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad bisects the region, connecting the burgeoning settlements of Oregon and Brooklyn, while the Evansville Branch Railroad terminates in the south at the town of Evansville. Smaller rural hubs like Union, Rutland, and the Lake View Post Office indicate a landscape transitioning from pioneer outposts to established farming townships.
