New Glarus and the surrounding townships of Springdale, Verona, and Montrose are documented here during a period of established agricultural and rail development. The map details a landscape deeply connected by the Sugar River and its branches, which dictated the placement of early settlements and transport lines. Two major railroads, the Illinois Central and the Chicago and Northwestern, intersect the region, serving as the economic lifelines for villages like Belleville, Paoli, and Basco.
