2016 Map of Silver Lake

About this map

Glacial lakes and meandering river bends characterize this section of Kenosha County, where the Fox River snakes southward toward the Illinois border. The landscape is defined by its water bodies, from the prominent Silver Lake and Camp Lake to smaller basins like Flanagan Lake and Lilly Lake. These natural features have long shaped the regional settlement pattern, with communities like Silver Lake and Camp Lake clustered near the shorelines. Significant local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the First German Presbyterian Cem near New Munster and the Saint Johns Cem near Bassett. The presence of private airfields such as Digger Dougs Airport and Westosha Airport highlights a mix of rural and recreational land use. Further south, the community of Wilmot sits at a crossing of the river, anchored by the Holy Name of Jesus Cem and the Wilmot Cem.
