About this map

The Fox River meanders through this landscape, defining the character of a region where agricultural roots and residential growth intersect. To the north, Wales and Bethesda sit near the prominent Cambrian Rdg, while the southern reaches extend toward Mukwonago. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Genesee Village Cem, Oak Knoll Cem, and the Vernon Center Cem, which offer significant data for genealogists tracing early families in the area.

Transportation patterns reflect both historical routes and modern expansion, centered around Waukesha and settlements like Genesee Depot and Saylesville. Water features such as Hayslope Lake, Pebble Cr, and Spring Brook break up the undulating terrain, while a complex network of local roads like Genesee Rd and CTH D E connect these small communities. The presence of the Vernon Evangelical Lutheran Cem further underscores the enduring nature of the local settlements across this portion of the county.
