1900 Map of Lancaster
USGS Topo · Published 1900About this map
Lancaster serves as the focal point of this turn-of-the-century landscape, where the deeply dissected plateau of Grant County meets the broad corridor of the Mississippi River. The map captures a complex network of river-bottom commerce and upland agricultural settlements just before the era of modern road development. Notable river towns like Cassville and Potosi are shown in relation to the heavy rail presence of the Chicago Burlington and Northern R.R. and the Chicago Milwaukee and Paul R.R., which hugged the shoreline and navigated the steep bluffs.
