Summary |
Atlas of Dane County, Wisconsin : Drawn from Actual Surveys and the County Records, to which is added a Rail road & Sectional Map of the State of Wisconsin. This atlas contains thirty-five township plats whose boundaries are derived from the original federal survey, a map of Dane County, as well as plats of numerous villages and the City of Madison. The thirty-five township maps include ones for the townships of Albion, Berry, Black Earth, Blooming Grove, Blue Mounds, Bristol, Burke, Christiana, Cottage Grove, Cross Plains, Dane, Deerfield, Dunkirk, Dunn, Fitchburg, Madison, Mazomanie, Medina, Middleton, Montrose, Oregon, Perry, Pleasant Springs, Primrose, Roxbury, Rutland, Springdale, Springfield, Sun Prairie, Vermont, Verona, Vienna, Westport, WIndsor, and York. The atlas also includes a 3-page "Historical Sketch of Dane County, Wisconsin," consisting of a brief history of each of the Towns in the County, with references to land quality. Those references seem to be drawn from the early federal surveyors' notes. Some entries include names of early Euro-American settlers, and early institutions. Additionally present are a chart of "Air-line Distances of Dane County, Wisconsin;" a one-page "Territorial History of Wisconsin;" a one-page "The Population of Wisconsin by Towns, Villages & Cities, the Census of 1870;" and a one-page "Madison Directory." There is also a large, folded "Rail Road Sectional Map of Wisconsin, 1873." |
