About this map

The resort character and rural agriculture of southern Walworth County converge at Lake Geneva, where early 1960s development surrounds the eastern shores and the waters of The Narrows. Significant landmarks of the era include the sprawling Big Foot Beach State Park and the specialized infrastructure of the Playboy Landing Field and Hillmoor Country Club. The city center is dense with civic and local history sites, including the Pioneer Cem and East View Sch.

South toward the Wisconsin Illinois border, the landscape transitions into the open fields of Linn and Bloomfield. This southern section reveals a legacy of rural education and transport, with the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad serving the settlement of Zenda. Numerous small schools like Locust Grove Sch and Trevor Sch are scattered among the tributaries of Nippersink Creek, marking the historical distribution of local farming communities.
