About this map

Holy Hill stands as a prominent landmark in this region of Washington and Waukesha counties, where the glacial landscape is defined by an intricate network of kettle lakes and rivers. The settlement of Merton serves as a focal point along the Bark River, where industrial history is marked by the Merton Rolling Mill E-4528 Dam and the Merton Millpond 26. Further north, the Oconomowoc River feeds into Monches Millpond 38 at the village of Monches, highlighting a legacy of water-powered industry.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of historic burial sites, including Saint Johns Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and the Saint Peter Episcopal Cemetery. The map also captures the recreational character of the area through sites like Camp Whitcomb on the shores of Lake Keesus and Camp Villa near Friess Lake, illustrating how the natural hydrography shaped both the local economy and social life.
