1959 Map of Muskego

About this map

Little Muskego Lake and its surrounding glacial terrain define this portion of Waukesha County during a period of significant suburban expansion. While the northern edge shows the early growth of Waukesha and New Berlin, the southern landscape remains largely agricultural, punctuated by a network of local schools and churches such as Vernon Ch and St Leonard Sch. The industrial character of the era is evident in the numerous Gravel Pits concentrated near Prospect Hill, highlighting the region's role in supplying materials for Wisconsin's post-war building boom.
