2010 Map of Racine South

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the eastern edge of this coastal survey, where the urban grid of Racine meets the shoreline near Racine Reef. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Root River and the Pike River, which carve through the residential and academic corridors of Mount Pleasant and Elmwood Park. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, including the large Graceland Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, Holy Cross Cemetery, and the Mound Cemetery near the river’s bend. In the southern portion of the sheet, the University of Wisconsin - Parkside Campus sits as a major institutional landmark, bordered by the Oakwood Cemetery and B'nai Zek Cemetery. The shoreline infrastructure is noted by specialized locations like Pugh's Peerless Marina and the Zoological Park, reflecting a community deeply integrated with its riverfront and lakeside geography.
