1974 Map of Kewaskum

About this map

The Milwaukee River and its East Branch carve through a landscape defined by complex glacial geology in this mid-1970s survey. Within the Kettle Moraine State Forest, prominent glacial drumlins and a series of kettle lakes, including Auburn Lake, Mauthe Lake, and Forest Lake, indicate the area's post-glacial identity. The village of Kewaskum serves as a local hub along the Chicago and North Western railroad line, while smaller settlements like New Fane and New Prospect are situated further north. Local history is preserved in sites such as the New Fane Millpond and several rural burial grounds, including Warden Cem and the Gage Cem near Old Bridge Road. A network of recreation and resource management is visible through the Ranger Station, Kettle Moraine Youth Camp, and various campgrounds that dot the lake-rich terrain.
