About this map

The glacial topography of southeast Wisconsin is prominently displayed in this 1960 field-checked survey, dominated by the Kettle Moraine State Forest and a dense network of kettle lakes. The landscape is a complex of wetlands and water bodies, including Lake Beulah, Eagle Spring Lake, and the marshy expanses of Lower Phantom Lake near Mukwonago. Small agricultural and railroad settlements like Genesee Depot, North Prairie, and Eagle serve as focal points for the surrounding rural townships.

Transport is defined by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and Chicago and North Western rail lines, which historically drove the development of local depots and grain-handling sites. Cultural and community landmarks are scattered throughout the countryside, from the Divine Word Seminary and Camp Edwards to numerous rural schoolhouses like Bethesda Sch and Bell Sch. The map also documents the area's geological utility with dozens of Gravel Pits and a Quarry supporting local industry.
