2016 Map of Hales Corners

About this map

Hales Corners and its neighboring suburban communities in the late 2010s are defined by a complex interface of residential growth and preserved natural corridors. The Root River and Ryan Creek systems weave through the landscape, connecting several significant water bodies including Upper Kelly Lake, Lower Kelly Lake, and the expansive Muskego Lake in the southwest. The map documents the persistent identity of established unincorporated areas like Tess Corners and Saint Martins, the latter of which is anchored by the Sacred Heart School of Theology. Local history and genealogy are further grounded in several cemeteries that dot the area, such as the Temple Menorah Ever Rest Cemetery and Saint Pauls Lutheran Cemetery, reflecting the diverse cultural and religious foundations of the Milwaukee and Waukesha county borderlands.
