1902 Map of Mineral Point
USGS Topo · Published 1917About this map
The driftless area of Southwest Wisconsin and Northern Illinois is defined by its dendritic river networks and lead-mining history, long before the modern landscape was fully settled. Mineral Point and Dodgeville serve as major hubs connected by a web of early rail lines, including the Chicago and Northwestern RR and the Illinois Central RR. The topography is marked by the distinctive Platte Mounds and the winding course of the Pecatonica River, which gathers numerous tributaries like the Ames Branch and Wood Branch as it flows south toward the Illinois border.
