About this map

The Fox River and its tributaries carve a complex glacial landscape through this portion of Waukesha County. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Cambrian Rdg and Jarmon Rdg, which overlook a network of water bodies including Saylesville Millpond, Hayslope Lake, and Willow Springs Lake 3.10. Small historic settlements are scattered throughout the region, from the northern hamlets of Wales and Bethesda to the southern village of Vernon.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, such as Oak Knoll Cem and Saint Pauls Cem. The map illustrates the residential expansion of Waukesha in the northeast and Mukwonago in the southwest, while the central corridor around Saylesville and Genesee maintains its character through the preservation of wetlands and creeks like Pebble Cr and Brandy Brook. These features indicate a landscape shaped by both its agricultural past and contemporary suburban development.
