1958 Map of Racine
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Lake Michigan dominates the center of this mid-century survey, dividing the industrial corridors of southeast Wisconsin and northeast Illinois from the fruit-growing and timbered shores of western Michigan. On the western shore, the urban expansion from Milwaukee south through Racine and Kenosha to the northern edge of Chicago is clearly marked by a dense grid of infrastructure and military installations. Key landmarks such as the Naval Training Center Great Lakes and Fort Sheridan underscore the strategic importance of this coastline during the Cold War era.
