Birdseye view of the first Wisconsin Fish Hatchery
 Wisconsin Fish Hatchery, Fitchburg, Near Madison
This 1887 lithograph gives an aerial view of the nation's first fish hatchery, built outside Madison in 1887. It clearly shows the holding ponds and other design features, though like all birdseye views it romanticizes the scene in high-Victorian fashion.
