The Milwaukee River meanders southward through the heart of Ozaukee County, defining the corridor between Saukville and Mequon. In this 2018 snapshot, the suburban expansion of Grafton and Cedarburg is evident, yet much of the area's early character remains visible through its numerous historic burial grounds. Genealogists can locate several significant sites including Zur Ruhe Cem and the Old Settlers Rest Cem. The landscape transitions from the preserved wetlands of Cedarburg Bog in the north to the industrial and residential developments near Hamilton and Lakefield. The eastern edge is dominated by the dramatic shoreline of Lake Michigan, while inland, the confluence of Cedar Creek and the river provides a focal point for the historic mill-town settlements that first drew people to this region.
