1959 Map of Five Corners

About this map

Kirchhayn and the surrounding rural crossroads of Ozaukee and Washington Counties appear here in a landscape defined by small-scale agriculture and early preservation efforts. The northern reaches are dominated by the Cedarburg Bog Wildlife Refuge, a distinct natural feature containing Mud Lake, which stands in contrast to the heavily gridded farm plots that characterize the townships of Jackson, Cedarburg, and Mequon. These farming communities are anchored by local institutions like David Star Ch and a network of district schools, including Sherman Sch and Elm Tree Sch.
