Description
Railroads are the evident emphasis on this map of Wisconsin, published in 1872 by Asher & Adams. The iron rails can be seen spreading across the region; concentrated heavily near the Twin Cities of Minnesota, in Michigan’s upper peninsula, and throughout southeastern Wisconsin. Each line is individually labeled and includes distances between each stop.
Settlements that are not located on a railroad are scarce, reflecting the importance of accessibility to markets for local Midwestern economies. Elsewhere, the map shows counties colored by hand and labels post offices, geographic features, and survey lines.
