1954 Map of Milwaukee

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the center of this mid-century survey, illustrating the maritime and industrial connection between the Wisconsin and Michigan shorelines. On the western shore, the urban expansion of Milwaukee is visible alongside established communities like Whitefish Bay and Shorewood. To the north, Sheboygan and Port Washington anchor a coastline defined by the Milwaukee River and Onion River. These Wisconsin port towns face their Michigan counterparts across the water, including the industrial hubs of Muskegon and Grand Haven.
