2013 Map of North Cape

About this map

Durham and Union Church anchor this agricultural and residential landscape on the southern edge of Milwaukee County during the early 21st century. The map reveals a transition between established small settlements and the encroaching suburban grid, particularly around Kneeland and Raymond. Aviation is a notable part of the local character, with several small landing strips including Aero Estates Airport, Valhalla Airport, and the Cindy Guntly Memorial Airport dotting the open fields. The terrain is defined by its water management systems, notably the Goose Lake Br Canal and Cross Canal, which facilitate drainage into larger bodies like Muskego Lake to the northwest. This topography, shaped by the Ryan Cr drainage, highlights the area's history of reclaiming marshland for productive use while maintaining a network of rural routes like W Loomis Rd and 7 Mile Rd.
