About this map

Lake Michigan borders a dense industrial and residential corridor on the western shore, capturing the modern landscape of the Milwaukee lakefront. The map shows the established street grids and neighborhood boundaries of St. Francis, Cudahy, and South Milwaukee. This area reflects the late 20th and early 21st-century suburban density that characterizes the region south of the city proper, with thoroughfares like S Lake Dr and E Howard Ave serving as primary connectors through the residential blocks.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by specific landmarks such as Holy Sepulcher Cem and Agudas Achim Cem, alongside the Montessori Institute of Milwaukee. The southern portion of the sheet transitions into Oak Creek and the settlement of Carrollville, where the grid opens slightly near Forest Hill Memorial Park. The survey illustrates a fully developed lakeshore where public parks and residential streets meet the water's edge.
