1961 Map of Janesville East

About this map

The eastern edges of Janesville meet the rolling agricultural lands of Rock County in the early 1960s, a landscape defined by the intersection of industrial transport and rural education. The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Chicago and North Western railroads anchor the local economy, cutting across the townships of Harmony and La Prairie. This period shows a robust network of country schools, including Harmony Sch, Blackhawk Sch, and Howarth Sch, which served the farming families before district consolidation became widespread.
