About this map

The southern reaches of Racine and the northern residential blocks of Kenosha dominate this 2018 survey of the Lake Michigan shoreline. Between these urban centers, the landscape transitions into the planned communities of Elmwood Park and Mount Pleasant, alongside the town of Somers. The area is notably dense with commemorative and spiritual sites, including the extensive grounds of Graceland Cem, Calvary Cem, and the significant Mound City Cem Soldiers' Lot.

Water plays a central role in the geography, from the meandering path of the Root River in the north to the Pike River flowing through the southern portion of the sheet. Off the coast, the Racine Reef provides a navigation point in the vast expanse of Lake Michigan. The map meticulously tracks the expansion of the regional grid, following major corridors like Northwestern Ave and Rapids Dr, which link the industrial and residential heart of the corridor.
