About this map

The Lake Michigan coastline anchors this late-twentieth-century study of eastern Wisconsin, where the industrial and residential centers of Sheboygan and Kohler meet the waterfront. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Sheboygan River, Mullet River, and Onion River, which historically powered the development of communities like Sheboygan Falls and Plymouth. Beyond the urban centers, the map reveals a well-established network of smaller settlements such as Gibbsville, Hingham, and Oostburg, reflecting the region's agricultural and rural heritage.

Natural conservation and recreation areas are prominent features, including the shoreline dunes of Kohler-Andrae State Park and inland water bodies like Elkhart Lake and Random Lake. The survey also highlights state-managed environments such as the Schuette Creek State Fishery Area, illustrating the balance between late-century suburban growth and the preservation of the Wisconsin lakeshore ecosystem.
