2022 Map of Franksville

About this map

The Milwaukee Co Racine Co line bisects this region where the suburban expansion of Franklin and Oak Creek meets the agricultural townships of Caledonia and Mount Pleasant. This 2022 survey captures a landscape defined by its drainage and its grid, where the Root River and its associated Root River Canal system wind through terrain that remains largely pastoral despite the presence of major transit corridors. Historically significant clusters like Franksville and Thompsonville serve as anchors in a region where local landmarks such as Independent Cem and Caledonia Memorial Park provide clear points of reference for genealogists. The map details the transition from the developed streets of Oakwood in the north to the more open farm plots near Yorkville and Raymond, tracing the evolution of southeastern Wisconsin's land use.
