About this map

Lannon and Sussex serve as the primary hubs in this mid-century survey of the Washington and Waukesha county border. The landscape is defined by its industrial activity, particularly the numerous Quarries and Gravel Pit sites concentrated near the village centers. This resource extraction economy is balanced by established community institutions, including the Zion Ch, Good Shepherd Sch, and Sunnyside Cem.

Recreational and natural features are prominent in the northern reaches, where Bark Lake and Amy Bell Lake are located near Camp Minikani. The drainage of the Bark River and Menomonee River shapes the local topography, while the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad facilitates transport through the settlements of Goldenthal and Meeker. The presence of the U S Military Reservation near Sunnyside Sch adds a distinct federal footprint to the otherwise agricultural and industrial character of the region.
