The trail from Verona to Riley, Klevenville, Mount Horeb, Blue Mounds, Barneveld, Ridgeway, and Dodgeville in Iowa and Dane Counties, Wisconsin. It connects near to the Madison trail system via the Capital Springs trail access to the Milwaukee area.

The trail brought lead from Dodgeville and Blue Mounds for shot for the Army in the early 1800's. Farming became more important in from 1830 to 1850.

The Chicago and Tomah Railroad first to consider a railroad along the Military Ridge. It was bought by the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, operated a narrow-gauge line in southwestern Wisconsin. In 1880, communities along the line invested, and construction brought a boom to communities along the line.
