About this map

The Milwaukee River and Cedar Creek anchor this coastal Wisconsin landscape, where industrial heritage meets suburban expansion along the shores of Lake Michigan. The twin centers of Grafton and Cedarburg reveal a history of water-powered industry, preserved in the form of the Cedarburg Woolen Mill Dam, Columbia Mills Dam, and Ruck Dam. These landmarks, alongside the Ozaukee County Fairgrounds, speak to a local economy that once centered on milling and agriculture.

Family legacies are visible in the numerous named homesteads, including the Oakland Stock Farm and Dudley Farm, while smaller settlements like Hamilton, Lakefield, and Ulao represent the historical rural framework of Ozaukee County. Near the southern boundary, institutional development is evident at Concordia University. Local history researchers will find depth in the distribution of burial sites, from the modern Woodlawn Cemetery to the aptly named Old Settlers Rest Cemetery.
