About this map

The industrial and residential growth of southern Sheboygan is prominent along the Lake Michigan shoreline in the mid-1950s. The landscape transition from the urban grid of the city to the planned community of Kohler and the rural reaches of Wilson and Holland is clearly visible. Significant infrastructure supporting the region's mid-century expansion includes the Edgewater Powerplant, a Refinery, and the Sewage Disposal works near Lake View Park.

South of the city, the coastal environment remains largely undeveloped at Terry Andrae State Park. Local life is marked by community landmarks such as Jackson School, the Southside Cemetery, and a Drive-in Theater along the main thoroughfare. Offshore, nautical hazards or historical remnants are indicated by the Sunken Caisson, while the Black River winds its way toward the lake at Black River Point.
