1911 Map of Galena
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The lead-mining legacy of Jo Daviess County is strikingly visible in this early twentieth-century survey, which details the heavy concentration of shafts and schools throughout the driftless area. Galena serves as the focal point, connected to the industrial landscape by the Illinois Central and Chicago Great Western railroads. To the north and south, the terrain is dotted with significant operations including the Northwestern Mine and the Royal Princess Mine, while numerous rural schoolhouses like Vinegar Hill School and Rock College School reveal the density of the mining and farming population at the time.
