First edition of this detailed, and compact pocket plat map atlas issued by Bussell (b. 1854) was a surveyor/civil engineer based out of nearby Neillsville, Clark, WI, and his partner Holway for lands platted through Marathon County, Wisconsin in the 19th-Century as the centrally located County opened for logging and settlement on lands driven by the Wisconsin Central Railroad, and the Wisconsin Valley Railroad (later the Wisconsin Valley Land Company). This exceptional reference provides names of all the original homesteaders and plat-holders as of the time of publication, as well as demarcating houses, churches, schools, mills, U.S. Government lands, state lands, as well as the lines for the Lake Shore Traffic Co., Dundee Land Co., and development lands of the C.P. Haseltine Co. Worldcat locates only 1 physical copy at Library of Congress (Wisconsin Historical Society does have a scanned searchable copy available online); See: Louise Marchetti, History of Marathon County, Wisconsin and Representative Citizens (1913).…
