NEW RESOURCES AT UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN DIGITAL COLLECTIONS
Wisconsin Public Land Survey
The field notes and plat maps of the public land survey of Wisconsin are a valuable resource for original land survey information, as well as for understanding Wisconsin's landscape history. The survey of Wisconsin was conducted between 1832 and 1866 by the federal General Land Office. This work established the township, range and section grid; the pattern upon which land ownership and land use is based. This summer, we added over 400 resurvey maps from the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands, increasing the coverage and completeness of this collection.

United States Water Survey maps
These thirteen Lake Survey maps document waterborne transportation on the Great Lakes in the late nineteenth century. These highly accurate nautical charts reveal the inherent dangers posed by rocky shorelines and narrow passages. The maps were provided by the Wisconsin Historical Society and described by Wisconsin’s Water Library.
