About this map

Beulah Lake and the glacially-formed terrain of the Kettle Moraine define the topography of this southeastern Wisconsin region. Based on 1955 aerial photography and field-checked in 1960, the survey shows a landscape where conservation areas like Kettle Moraine State Forest and the Lulu Lake State Natural Area preserve significant wetlands and wooded ridges. The village of East Troy serves as the central hub, supported by the East Troy Municipal Airport and a network of roads following early settlement patterns.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including Oak Ridge Cem, Evergreen Cem, and St Peters Cem. Notable institutions such as the Divine Word Seminary and summer camps like Camp Edwards and Camp Chester line the shores of the numerous kettle lakes. An Old Railroad Grade running through the town of Troy provides a clear trace of former transit routes that once linked these lakeside communities.
