1958 Map of South Milwaukee

About this map

St Francis, Cudahy, and South Milwaukee line the shoreline of Lake Michigan in this mid-century portrait of suburban and industrial growth. The lakefront is defined by a series of recreation areas and scenic corridors, including Warnimont Park and Grant Park Drive, which contrast with the industrial presence of the Powerplant and nearby Gravel Pit. The map captures a dense network of parochial and public institutions, from the prominent St Francis Seminary and St Marys Academy in the north to the industrial hamlet of Carrollville in Oak Creek to the south.
