About this map

Kewaskum serves as the primary hub in this portion of the Kettle Moraine, where the Milwaukee River and its branches carve through the glacial landscape. The village's street grid, including First St, is established near the Holy Trinity church and the Buffalo-Trinity Cemetery. To the north and east, the map reveals a collection of smaller communities and rural landmarks that define the region's historical character, such as New Fane, Saint Michaels, and New Prospect.

The area is notably dense with glacial lakes and wetlands, including Mauthe Lake, Forest Lake, and Auburn Lake. These water bodies are surrounded by numerous family-named cemeteries like Warden Cemetery and Gage Cemetery, which provide valuable location data for genealogists tracing early settlers. The intersection of three counties—Fond du Lac, Sheboygan, and Washington—converges here, highlighting the jurisdictional complexity of this wooded upland terrain.
