1962 Map of Footville

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Center and Plymouth townships is defined by the convergence of major rail corridors and the winding paths of Marsh Creek, Stevens Creek, and Bass Creek. At the center of this 1962 survey lies Footville, a critical junction where the Chicago and North Western railroad meets local roads. To the south, the village of Hanover sits along the C M ST P & P line, illustrating the importance of rail transport for rural Rock County communities during the mid-20th century.
