Description

Bird's eye view of Fort Atkinson, Jefferson County, Wisconsin 1870. Merchants Lithographing Co.

Beautiful bird's eye view map of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, drawn by Albert Ruger in 1870, reprint. Located at the site of Fort Koshkonong, a stockade that was built where the Rock and Bark Rivers converge, Fort Atkinson was named for General Henry Atkinson, the commander of U. S. forces during the Black Hawk War. The area is known to have been inhabited by Native Americans as far back as 1,000 BC, and artifacts from the Mississippian mound-building culture are found throughout the area, including a 125 foot long panther intaglio (burial mound) that is the last remaining intaglio in the state of Wisconsin.

The first American settlers, Dwight Foster and his family, arrived in 1836. It is now the second largest city in Jefferson County.
