2018 Map of Sussex

About this map

Sussex and Menomonee Falls anchor this 2018 topographic survey of the boundary between Washington and Waukesha counties. The landscape transitions from the urbanized centers of Germantown and Lannon to the more rural, water-rich northern reaches near Bark Lake and Mud Lake. Several historical burial grounds, including the Saint James Catholic Cemetery and Redeemer United Church of Christ Cemetery, provide critical reference points for genealogists tracing the legacy of these German-influenced settlements. The drainage patterns of the Bark River and Menomonee River define the local topography, while the unique Mammoth Spring near Sussex remains a notable geological landmark. These details illustrate the continued suburban expansion and infrastructure development in the corridor between Milwaukee and its northwestern residential communities.
