About this map

Waukesha and its surrounding southeastern Wisconsin suburbs are characterized by a dense network of residential subdivisions and glacial water features in this 2018 survey. The landscape is defined by the significant presence of Little Muskego Lake and Muskego Lake, which historically drove the development of the region. Local genealogy is well-represented through several burial sites, including the Vernon United Presbyterian Cem and Vernon Reformed Presbyterian Cem near the small community of Guthrie.

Suburban growth is evident as the cities of Waukesha, New Berlin, and Muskego expand toward one another, separated by remaining green spaces like the Minooka Park Loop. Waterways such as the Fox River and Pebble Brook cut through the modern street grid, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that shaped early settlement in Waukesha County. The map provides a precise look at the modern infrastructure of Big Bend and other crossroads that once served as rural hubs.
