About this map

The Milwaukee River winds through this suburban landscape north of Milwaukee, defining the boundaries between several established communities and institutional campuses. In the northern reaches, the village of Thiensville is situated near the Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary and the Milwaukee Area Technical College-Mequon Campus, while the expansive city of Mequon surrounds it. The terrain transitions toward the shoreline of Lake Michigan, where the communities of Bayside, River Hills, and Fox Point occupy the coastal bluffs and wooded ravines.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a dense collection of cemeteries, including Saint Johns Lutheran Church Cem and Graceland Cem. The proximity of Cardinal Stritch University and various parochial sites like Saint Michaels Cem reflects the region's educational and religious development. Small watercourses such as Pigeon Cr and Indian Cr feed into the river system, which is paralleled by the Milwaukee River Pkwy, illustrating the area's twentieth-century suburban planning and residential growth.
