Lake Michigan forms the eastern edge of this early twentieth-century survey, where the industrial and residential expansion of the Milwaukee area meets the rural farmlands of northern Racine County. The shoreline is defined by the burgeoning municipalities of Cudahy and South Milwaukee, established along the busy corridors of the Chicago and North Western Railroad and the Chicago Milwaukee and Electric Railroad. Inland, the landscape transitions into a grid of small settlements and post offices, such as New Coeln, Paynesville, and Lamberton P.O., which served as local hubs before widespread suburbanization.
