From The Journal of Geography, 1913-14
This map obviously predates the preponderance of major highways as automobile travel was still in its infancy; paved roads were rare outsde metropolitan areas. But look at all the railroad lines. All those initials were shorthand for the major railroads criss-crossing the area- GB&W: Green Bay and Western, C&NW: Chicago and North Western, CM&SP: Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Pacific (also known as The Milwaukee Road).
