The Pecatonica River meanders across the southern Wisconsin landscape in the 1920s, defining a region of undulating farmland and dense rural infrastructure. This survey, conducted just after the First World War, captures a meticulous network of country schools that served isolated farmsteads, including Mud Branch School, Cherry Branch School, and Cadiz Center School. The transportation network is anchored by the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul and Illinois Central railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods from settlements like South Wayne and Browntown.
