1958 Map of Racine North

About this map

The Lake Michigan shoreline north of Racine reveals a landscape in transition between industrial expansion and established lakeside communities during the mid-20th century. At the prominent bend of Wind Point, a historic Lighthouse stands near the Wind Point Sch, while the nearby residential pockets of Crestview and North Bay mark the suburban growth of the era. To the west, the Chicago and North Western railway corridors support industrial features like the Quarry at Ives and the Powerplant near the northern boundary. Educational and religious institutions are densely clustered through Caledonia, including Dominican College, St Rita Sch, and several historic burial grounds such as the National Cem and Holy Family Cem. The meandering Root River flows through the southwest corner, past Johnson Park and the Horlick-Racine Airport, illustrating the region's balance of recreation and local infrastructure.
