2016 Map of Sturtevant

About this map

Sturtevant and the surrounding Racine County agricultural lands are captured here in a moment of suburban expansion and transportation development. The landscape is defined by the intersection of major thoroughfares and rail corridors, including the established community of Somers and the industrial area of Waxdale. Genealogical interests are well-represented by several burial grounds, including West Lawn Memorial Cem, Sylvania Cem, and Paris Cem. The topography is relatively level, drained by the E Br Root River Canal and Pike River, which wind through the township grids. Aviation history is noted by the presence of Sylvania Airport near the community of Sylvania, while smaller locales like Ives Grove maintain their distinct geographic identity amidst the growing residential networks of Durand Ave and Washington Ave.
