Map or Atlas
Bird's-Eye View of Jefferson
| Although the first European settlement in Jefferson was in 1836, the Village of Jefferson was first incorporated as a city in 1878. Made eight years earlier, this bird's eye drawing depicts street names and street layouts, houses, trees, Rock River, and bridges. A reference key at the bottom of the map shows the location of Jefferson's court house, county jail, Liberal Institute, public school, depot, cemetery, Catholic cemetery, and the city's specific denominational churches (Evangelical, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Roman Catholic Convent and Universalist). At the bottom left of the map, there is an inset street-view drawing of Jefferson's Liberal Institute, and at the bottom right of the map is an inset street-view drawing of Jefferson's court house. |
