2015 Map of Newburg

About this map

The Milwaukee River and its North Branch wind through the borderlands of Washington and Ozaukee Counties, anchoring a landscape defined by small crossroads settlements and glacial hydrology. This 2015 survey reveals the enduring rural character of towns like Newburg, Fillmore, and Waubeka, while the eastern edge of West Bend and the West Bend Municipal Airport show modern development pressing from the west. Genealogists and local researchers will find several well-documented burial sites, including Saint Johns Cem, Saint Finbars Cem, and Saint Augustine Cem, which mark the early Catholic heritage of the region. Significant ecological features like the Cedarburg Bog and various kettle lakes such as Green Lake, Erler Lake, and Long Lake highlight the post-glacial terrain that has shaped the agriculture and layout of communities like Cheeseville and Myra.
