West Bend, Wis. : looking west
Map
This is a bird's-eye view map of West Bend, looking west. West Bend was founded as a convenient stopping place for travelers between Milwaukee and Fond du Lac. The Milwaukee River provided water power for saw mills and grist mills, and the arrival of the railroad in 1873 ensured the city's continuing prosperity. The bottom margin of this view includes a key to 46 locations, including public buildings, schools, churches, businesses, hotels, stores and saloons. This copy is a black and white reproduction of the original.
