2018 Map of Eagle

About this map

Eagle and the surrounding glacial landscape of Waukesha County are defined by a complex network of wetlands and kettle lakes. The Ice Age National Scenic Trail meanders through the central corridor, tracing the moraine-heavy terrain south of Dousman. This 2018 survey reveals a rural area with deep historical roots, evidenced by numerous burial grounds such as Ottawa Cem and Jerusalem Cem that serve the outlying settlements of Wales, Genesee Depot, and North Prairie. The hydrologic character of the region is shaped by the Scuppernong River and Jericho Cr, which feed into various basins including Ottawa Lake and Spring Lake. These water systems, alongside Hunters Millpond 17, reflect a long-standing relationship between the local geography and the agricultural and residential development seen in the township grids and county roads.
