About this map

The Milwaukee River winds southward through the center of this terrain, anchoring a corridor of industry and settlement between Saukville and Mequon. The river’s historical utility is evident in features such as the Grafton Millpond and Lime Kiln Millpond near Grafton, reflecting the importance of water power and local extraction to the regional economy. To the west, Cedar Creek flows through Cedarburg, where preservation and public spaces like Covered Bridge Fields and the Cedarburg Pond highlight the community's heritage.

Genealogists will find numerous burial grounds across the landscape, including Old Settlers Rest Cem and Woodlawn Cem. Small airports like the SSS Aerodrome and Flying S Ranch Airport dot the rural areas between the growing towns and the shoreline of Lake Michigan. The transition from the protected waters of the Cedarburg Bog in the north to the established residential grids of Hamilton and Lakefield illustrates the mid-century development patterns of Ozaukee County.
