About this map

Pewaukee Lake anchors this landscape of glacial terrain and growing mid-century communities, illustrating the transition from rural township life to suburban expansion. The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad corridor establishes a structural axis through Hartland and Pewaukee, while the surrounding hills are dotted with local institutions like St Anthony Sch and Arrowhead High Sch.

Genealogists can find significant landmarks such as the Bark River Cem and Tabernacle Cem, alongside numerous country schools including Brandy Brook Sch and Meadowbrook Sch. The landscape also retains its natural character in the south, where Pebble Creek flows near a significant Peat Bog, and at the edge of the sheet where the city of Waukesha begins to show signs of its modern development pattern through revised urban tinting.
