1959 Map of Muskego

About this map

The growing suburban and rural landscapes of southeastern Wisconsin are captured in the late 1950s, showing the early expansion of Waukesha and New Berlin. This period finds the region in a state of flux, where established agricultural tracts and gravel operations sit adjacent to emerging residential developments. The area's history is tied to its water and transport, with the Sault Ste Marie and St Paul RR cutting across the northern sections and the Fox River winding through the southwest near Big Bend.
