Description
This interesting road map of Price County, Wisconsin was published in Rockford, Illinois by W.W. Hixson & Company around 1927. An advertisement on the front cover indicates that the firm produced “road maps of all Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Missouri Counties.”
The image shows a basic outline of the state highways in operation, identified using a system of numbers and letters that was established in 1917 – the first such numbered highway system implemented in the United States. Townships are numbered and settlements, including Price, the county seat, are individually labeled. Lakes and rivers are also identified, but otherwise, the amount of information is relatively limited.
