Portage serves as the focal point of this 1899 survey, situated at the historic land bridge between the Wisconsin River and the Fox River. This geography, long used for portaging between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River watersheds, is shown here during a period of industrial expansion. The city is a dense hub for the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul R. R., with the Portage City Line and lines toward Madison radiating from the center.
