About this map

The Milwaukee River winds through this suburban landscape north of Milwaukee, serving as a focal point for the communities of Thiensville, River Hills, and Fox Point. The map illustrates a highly developed residential and recreational corridor just inland from Lake Michigan, where the river's path is paralleled by historical routes like N Cedarburg Rd and Green Bay Rd. The presence of the Brown Deer Golf Course and Brown Deer Corporation Park highlights the land-use patterns of the early 21st century, balancing corporate development with extensive green space.

Water features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, from the larger Northridge Lake and Lac Du Cours to smaller bodies like Brantwood Lake. Small tributaries such as Pigeon Cr and Indian Cr drain into the main river channel, while the eastern edge of the map is defined by the bluffs and shoreline of the Great Lake. The dense network of local roads and cul-de-sacs reveals the mature residential character of these North Shore communities.
