2013 Map of Newburg

About this map

The Milwaukee River winds through this section of Washington County, anchoring a series of small, dispersed settlements including Newburg, Fillmore, and Kohler. The landscape is a mix of agricultural heritage and modern utility, as evidenced by the namesake Cheeseville Dairy in Cheeseville and the presence of the West Bend Municipal Airport on the western edge. This map documents a transitional geography where traditional dairy industry sites like Decorah Farm and local crossroads such as Myra sit amidst a network of glacial lakes, including Erler Lake, Green Lake, and Long Lake. The arterial connection of Wi-84 and State Road 33 E facilitates movement between these rural hubs, while the N Br Milwaukee River carves a path through the northern plains of the quadrangle.
