Description

Watertown, Jefferson Co., Wisconsin 1867. Drawn from nature by A. Ruger.

This bird's eye view map of Watertown, Wisconsin was drawn by Albert Ruger and published by Chicago Lithographing Co. in 1867, reprint. In 1867 Watertown was located solely in Jefferson County. Watertown began as a lumber town with a few mills taking advantage of the swift moving waters of the Rock River as it takes its final horseshoe bend before flowing southwest to the Mississippi River. The area is distinguished by its drumlin-like hills formed by glacial retreat. In the mid-1800's, German immigrants began moving into Watertown and with them they brought their brewing skills to the community, as well as furniture making and cigar manufacturing. The country's first kindergarten was started in Watertown. In 1867 Watertown celebrated its first Saenger-Fest, a grand spectacle sponsored by the German Singing Societies of Wisconsin. The whole town decorated and trimmed their homes and businesses for this special four day celebration.

The map from 1867 shows lively scenes of village life, clearly labeled streets, buildings, and railway routes.
