Description
This informative atlas of Sauk County, Wisconsin was published in Chicago by George A. Ogle & Company in 1922. He was assisted in the work by E.M. Doll, the County Treasurer, and sold the atlas on a pre-order subscription basis in order to defray the significant upfront costs of production.
Residents and companies could pay an extra fee to include portraits, advertisements, or views of homes and businesses. The atlas includes a patron’s reference directory, advertising section, and collection of illustrations that represent these supporters, offering a unique window into the county’s inhabitants over a century ago.
The atlas obviously also includes maps. In addition to double-page maps of the county, Wisconsin, United States, and world, it presents plans for each village, city, and township. These show local landowners, important buildings, transportation routes, geographic features, and other contemporary items of interest. Of note is the Ringling Brothers Winter Quarters outlined along the shore of the Baraboo River.
