1892 Map of Madison
USGS Topo · Published 1903About this map
Madison is established as a vital transportation and topographic center on the isthmus between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona in this late nineteenth-century reconnaissance. The early grid of the state capital is bounded by an extensive network of iron rails, including the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul Railroad and the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, which converge near the city center. This industrial era connectivity defines the surrounding landscape of Dane County, reaching out to satellite settlements like Waunakee, De Forest, and Mac Farland.
