[milwaukee-electric] 1910 Sanborn

[Gary Schnabl]

Ken,
Page 2 of the 1910 Sanborn map ( 
http://www4.uwm.edu/libraries/digilib/sanborn/pdf/Milwaukee1910Volume8.pdf 
) pretty much shows why Capitol Drive (Lake) did not continue west of 
27th until Mud (Lincoln) Creek was rerouted. The creek was wider and 
meandered far more than I had previously thought. Perhaps, you have used 
this map before. It also shows the undeveloped area where my 
grandparents' 30-acre truck farm was when they acquired it just before 1910.

I did not know of the existence of North Milwaukee before, though. I 
wondered why many of the stores there seemed so much older than the real 
estate just a few blocks to the south, where I lived starting in 1946 
(42nd and Capitol).
