About this map

Port Washington serves as the focal point of this late-19th-century coastal landscape, where the bluff-lined shores of Lake Michigan meet a developing interior of small farming communities and industrial hubs. Surveyed in 1890, the map illustrates the early transportation network that shaped Ozaukee County, specifically the competition between the Milwaukee and Northern Railroad and the Milwaukee Lake Shore and Western Railroad. These tracks parallel the winding course of the Milwaukee River, connecting established river settlements like Grafton and Saukville to the port.
