USGS Topo · Published 1898About this map
The Rock River corridor serves as the industrial and logistical spine of this late 19th-century landscape, connecting the growing hubs of Janesville and Beloit. Surveyed by Van H. Manning Jr. in 1891, the map reveals a region defined by its reliance on water power and heavy rail transport. Two major lines, the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad and the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad, crisscross the townships of Plymouth and Rock, intersecting at strategic points like Hanover.
