Madison, the seat of Lake County in Dakota Territory, is the subject of this 1883 bird's-eye view, which shows a settlement still young enough that its street grid and town lots could be drawn in close detail. Panoramic maps like this were often commissioned by local boosters to attract settlers and investors. The artist, H. Brosius, drew the elevated perspective, and the Milwaukee firm Beck & Pauli printed it. Dakota Territory did not become a state until 1889, so the view captures a frontier town during the rapid land boom of the early 1880s.
