1891 Map of Muskego

USGS Topo · Published 1896

About this map

Muskego Lake and Wind Lake dominate this 1890 survey of the borderlands where Waukesha, Milwaukee, and Racine counties meet. The landscape is defined by its post-glacial hydrology, with the Fox River winding through the western townships of Vernon and Waterford. At this time, the region was primarily a network of rural farming townships and scattered crossroads settlements. Early rail infrastructure is represented by the Wisconsin Central Railroad clipping the northwestern corner of the map through New Berlin.
