1909 Map of Oconomowoc

About this map

Glacial geology defines the landscape in this 1907 survey, where a complex network of kettle lakes and rivers supported early twentieth-century recreation and institutional growth. The Pewaukee Lake shoreline features Waukesha Beach and Lakeside Sta, while smaller bodies of water like Pine Lake and North Lake are clustered along the Oconomowoc River. Significant cultural landmarks include the Nashotah Mission and the State Sanitarium near Government Hill (labeled here as Lapham Hill), providing a glimpse into the era's specialized land use.
