1891 Map of Janesville
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Rock River valley serves as the central artery for this late-19th-century survey of Rock County, dictating the development of industrial and transportation hubs. At the northern bend, Janesville is shown as a dense grid of urban development at the intersection of major rail lines, including the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad and the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad. This rail network extends across the agricultural townships of Plymouth and Center, connecting smaller peripheral settlements such as Footville and Hanover to the larger markets.
