About this map

Lake Michigan defines the eastern edge of this urban landscape, where the confluence of the Milwaukee River, Menomonee River, and Kinnickinnic River shaped the city's industrial and maritime identity. The complex shoreline at Jones Island and the Milwaukee Municipal Mooring Basin highlights a legacy of shipping and trade, while the inland grid is punctuated by significant institutional grounds. Prominent educational centers such as Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee are central to the city's modern layout.

Historical burial grounds and green spaces provide essential landmarks for genealogists, including the expansive Forest Home Cem and Wood National Cem near the Veterans Administration grounds. The map also traces modern recreational paths like the Hank Aaron State Trl, which follows the industrial corridor along the Menomonee River and the Burnham Canal. This 2022 survey captures the densely developed character of Milwaukee and its immediate neighbors like Shorewood, Wauwatosa, and West Allis.
