1959 Map of Newburg

About this map

The Milwaukee River meanders through the heart of this Washington and Ozaukee County landscape, anchored by the settlement of Newburg. The map reveals a post-war rural environment defined by small hamlets like Cheeseville, Fillmore, and Myra, and the transition to recreational and conservation land use. To the south, the sprawling Cedarburg Bog State Natural Area dominates the terrain, featuring Long Lake and Mud Lake within its glacial wetland complex. Local genealogy is well-supported by several country parishes and burial grounds, including St Johns Cem, St Peters Ch, and St Finbars Ch near Saukville. The map also captures the local aviation and leisure infrastructure of the late 1950s, showing the West Bend Airport and a Trailer Park situated near the shores of Green Lake.
