About this map

The Milwaukee River and Menomonee River converge in this urban survey, revealing the intricate industrial and maritime infrastructure of Wisconsin's largest port. The waterfront is defined by a complex network of docks and shipping slips along Jones Island, including the Milwaukee City Bulk Cargo Dock and the Milwaukee Municipal Mooring Basin. This industrial heart is connected by the towering Daniel Hoan Memorial Bridge, while the Milwaukee Passenger Pier marks the city's interface with Lake Michigan.

Further inland, the map captures the transition from heavy industry, such as the Wisconsin Electric Coal Yard and Milwaukee Stockyards, to civic and athletic landmarks. The campus area is anchored by the Marquette University Stadium and Helfaer Tennis Stadium. From the residential streets of West Milwaukee to the green space of Estabrook Park, the layout demonstrates a century of urban development, where historic neighborhood grids meet the high-speed corridors of the modern interstate system.
