About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the eastern edge of this urban landscape, where the Milwaukee River and Menomonee River converge in the heart of the city. The industrial history of the waterfront is etched into the shoreline at Jones Island and along the Burnham Canal, while the Daniel Hoan Memorial Bridge spans the harbor entrance. This survey captures a dense network of neighborhoods including Shorewood, Whitefish Bay, and Wauwatosa, framing a period of established urban infrastructure.

Genealogists and local historians can find a high concentration of large municipal and religious burial grounds, such as Forest Home Cem, Calvary Cem, and Beth Hamedrosh Hagodel Cem. The map also details the major academic campuses that anchor the city, from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the north to Marquette University near the downtown core. The surrounding townships and ranges, including t7n r22e, delineate the classic grid system that defines this Great Lakes port city.
