2013 Map of Racine South

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the eastern shoreline of this 2013 survey, where the Racine County Water Patrol station monitors the waters near Racine Reef. The urban grid is defined by the course of the Root River as it winds through the northern portion of the map, and the Pike River tracing its way through the southern reaches. The enclave of Elmwood Park sits centrally, surrounded by a dense network of transit corridors including the Chicago & Northwestern railroad line. This modern topographic study illustrates the high density of residential and commercial development along major thoroughfares like Durand Ave and Spring St. Significant local landmarks are preserved in the data, such as the Zoological Park near the lakefront, providing a clear record of the area's contemporary land use and municipal boundaries.
