Historic Map - Sheboygan, WI - 1885
Description
This reproduction panoramic map of Sheboygan, Wisconsin was drawn by Henry Wellge and published by Norris, Wellge & Co. in 1885. Sheboygan, county seat for Sheboygan County, was settled in the mid-1800's on Lake Michigan at the mouth of the Sheboygan River, as a farming community raising wheat and cheese. With the addition of the port system, its railroad connections and its industrial craftsmen, Sheboygan earned the nickname "City of Cheese, Chairs and Children".
The map from 1885 features an inset illustration of The Jacob J. Vollrath Manufacturing. Company, makers of gray enameled iron ware. Shown are labeled streets, buildings, shipping traffic and railway route. The map portrays the steamboat "Chicago".
