About this map

The Sheboygan Marsh and the Kettle Moraine State Forest Northern Unit dominate the landscape of northwestern Sheboygan County, reflecting a complex glacial topography. Much of the western half of the sheet is dedicated to the Sheboygan Marsh State Wildlife Area, where the Sheboygan River feeds into Sheboygan Lake. This 1990s revision captures the area’s distinct balance between conservation land and long-standing settlements like Elkhart Lake and Glenbeulah.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy landmarks such as Trinity Cemetery and the Old Wade House State Park in Greenbush, a site preserving Wisconsin's stagecoach-era history. The Chicago and North Western rail line cuts through the terrain, connecting the village of Plymouth to the resort and racing culture surrounding Crystal Lake and Turtle Bay on the eastern side of the larger lake.
