About this map

Menomonee Falls serves as the focal point of this late-2010s survey, where the suburban expansion of the Milwaukee metropolitan area meets the long-standing agricultural roots of the borderlands between Waukesha and Milwaukee counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Menomonee River and the Little Menomonee River, which flow through a network of established neighborhoods and the remnant wetlands of the Tamarac Swamp. This period shows a complex web of modern subdivisions built alongside historical crossroads and vanished rural identities.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds documenting the area's early German and Catholic heritage, including Saint Mary's Cem, Saint Anthony Cem in Fussville, and the Emmanuel Church Cem. The map also captures several distinct smaller communities such as Victory Center, Granville, and West Granville, many of which have been absorbed into the larger municipal boundaries of Germantown and Mequon.
