Of note is the railroad being the Chicago Milwaukee & Puget Sound, but land ownership by the Northern Pacific dated back to the checkerboard land grant which gave the NP alternating sections of land for 40 miles in each direction of its line.

More great Milwaukee maps! Thanks for sharing these, I've been trying to track down a map for Othello for quite some time. It's interesting to compare this with what's left on the ground today. The remnants are obvious, but what is gone is quite amazing.

Leland,
I have the whole atlas, which shows many more views such as this. Perhaps I should load up a few more for you.
