2018 Map of Cascade

About this map

Glacial landforms define this Sheboygan County landscape, where the Kettle Moraine and the striking Parnell Esker shape the terrain north of the N Br Milwaukee River. Near the village of Cascade, the geography is marked by numerous water bodies and wetlands, including Lake Ellen and the Cascade Swamp. Local history is anchored by several long-standing community sites such as Saint Paul's Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem. Further west, the settlement of Parnell sits near the base of Johnson Hill, while the Greenbush Kettle serves as a prominent geological landmark in the northern portion of the map. The complex drainage network of Mink Cr, Chambers Cr, and the Onion River illustrates the region's post-glacial hydrology, which historically influenced the placement of early farms and cemeteries like Saint Michael's Cem.
