2018 Map of Milwaukee

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the eastern shoreline of this urban landscape, where the confluence of the Milwaukee River, Menomonee River, and Kinnickinnic River forms the industrial and maritime heart of the city. The map details the complex infrastructure of Milwaukee, showcasing the massive Daniel Hoan Memorial Bridge spanning the harbor entrance and the Milwaukee Municipal Mooring Basin tucked behind Jones Island. This 2018 survey reveals the persistent historical footprint of the region's diverse communities through its extensive collection of memorial sites, including the large Calvary Cem and Mausoleum, Beth Hamedrosh Hagodel Cem, and Forest Home Cem. From the residential blocks of Whitefish Bay and Shorewood in the north to the industrial corridors along the Burnham Canal, the map traces the intersection of modern transportation networks like the Union Pacific railroad with the natural waterways that originally established the city's position as a Great Lakes port.
