About this map

The urban shoreline of Lake Michigan dominates this modern topographical study, tracing the dense residential and industrial corridors south of Milwaukee. The map documents a contiguous string of Lake Michigan communities including St. Francis, Cudahy, and South Milwaukee, where a tight grid of streets like E Layton Ave and S Lake Dr meet the bluffs. Toward the southern end, the landscape shifts slightly near Oak Creek and the settlement of Carrollville, where the winding course of Oak Cr breaks the geometric patterns of the suburbs.

Institutional and memorial sites are frequent landmarks along this corridor, from the historic Saint Francis Seminary in the north to a series of cemeteries including Woods Cem, Agudas Achim Cem, and Holy Sepulcher Cem. The map provides an essential record of modern land use in Milwaukee County, capturing the preservation of green spaces like Forest Hill Memorial Park amidst a heavily developed metropolitan fringe.
