About this map

Camp McCoy Military Reservation dominates the southern portion of this landscape, showing the organized grid of the Camp McCoy stationing area and its relationship to the surrounding terrain just after the war. The rail lines of the Chicago And North Western and ST Paul And Minneapolis dictate the placement of small settlements like Millston and Warrens, which serve as vital points along the transit corridor between the Robinson Creek and La Crosse River drainage basins.

A network of country schools, including the Summit Valley School and Drescher School, alongside family-named landmarks such as Knapp Mound and Rudes Hills, provides a detailed view of rural life in Jackson and Monroe Counties. The presence of the Oak Ridge Fire Tower and Greenfield Fire Tower highlights the era's focus on forest management, while labels for Greenfield Cemetery and Spring Bank Park offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
