About this map

The Kettle Moraine State Forest anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, characterized by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and wetlands. Glacial activity left behind a diverse hydrology including Eagle Spring Lake, Lulu Lake, and the expansive Beulah Lake, which is bordered by recreational sites like Camp Edwards. The village of East Troy serves as the regional hub, situated along Honey Creek and featuring the East Troy Municipal Airport.

A network of old transportation routes is evident throughout the townships of Troy and Eagle, with several stretches of Old Railroad Grade and Railroad Grade marking former rail corridors. Local history is further preserved in numerous burial grounds, including Evergreen Cem and Oak Ridge Cem, and institutional landmarks like the Divine Word Seminary near the shores of Beulah Lake. Small settlements such as Troy Center and Eagleville represent the established rural community structure of the mid-20th century.
