About this map

The Oconomowoc Lake region in Waukesha County is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and historical settlements that shaped the development of southeastern Wisconsin. Major water bodies including Nagawicka Lake, Okauchee Lake, and Upper Nemahbin Lake dominate the landscape, interconnected by the winding Bark River and Oconomowoc River. This map captures the area during a period of modern connectivity, where traditional lakefront communities like Nashotah, Chenequa, and Delafield are linked by the Watertown Plank Rd and the Ice Age National Scenic Trail.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of numerous religious sites and burial grounds, such as Saint John Chrysostom Episcopalian Cem and the Nashotah House Episcopalian Cem. The geography transitions from the higher elevations of Lapham Hill in the southeast toward the complex wetland systems of Middle Genesee Lake and Duck Lake, illustrating the post-glacial topography that has long influenced land use in the Summit and Utica areas.
