About this map

Sturtevant and the surrounding township of Mount Pleasant define this landscape just west of Lake Michigan's shores. The 2018 survey reveals a transition from the industrial and residential corridors of Waxdale and Racine into the agricultural expanses of western Racine County. Longstanding land use patterns are visible through features like the Sylvania Airport and several historic burial grounds, including West Lawn Memorial Cem and Sylvania Cem.

Water management is a central theme of the terrain, shown through the channelized E Br Root River Canal and the natural winding paths of Hoods Cr and the Pike River. Further south, the map crosses into Kenosha County at the settlement of Somers, near where Paris Lutheran Cem sits along the regional drainage divide. The grid of roads, from Durand Ave to the rural Ives Grove Rd, illustrates the intersection of suburban growth and traditional Wisconsin farming communities.
