About this map

Milwaukee and its southern neighboring communities are defined by a dense urban grid and significant aviation infrastructure in this recent topographic study. The landscape is anchored by the General Mitchell International Airport, which occupies a large portion of the eastern sector, surrounded by the cities of Cudahy and South Milwaukee. To the west, the planned community of Greendale is visible, characterized by its distinctive street patterns near Scout Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional concentration of burial grounds, including the large Forest Home Cem, Mount Olivet Cem, and Saint Adalberts Cem. These sites, along with institutions like Alverno Coll, reflect the long-standing social and religious fabric of the region. The drainage of the Kinnickinnic River and the small Mud Lake provide natural breaks in the suburban development of Greenfield and Oak Creek as they extend toward Lake Michigan.
