Think West Allis Junction was actually Belton Junction which was a 
CNW Tower.  With the printed West Junction somewhat west of the TM 
printing, it may be  where the actual place where the C&NW split from 
Madison and Butler.  The TM had trackage from Lapham to 92nd and then 
to a line towards Waukesha.  Route 10 went up to the TM West 
Junction.   Route 19 came on Becher past 84th to National and 
Mukwonago to 101st and south to Hales Corners.
