The renowned Yerkes Observatory stands as a primary landmark overlooking the western shores of Lake Geneva in this 2010 topographic record. This portion of Walworth County is defined by its glacial lakes, including the expansive Lake Delavan 36 and the smaller Lake Como. The map highlights a cluster of lakeside communities such as Williams Bay, Fontana, and the inland village of Walworth. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated at several burial sites, including Union Cemetery, Walworth Center Cemetery, and Cobblestone Cemetery. The landscape is a mix of dense residential development along the shorelines of Point Comfort and Conference Point contrasted with the structured agricultural grid defined by County Hwy-F and Lakeville Rd. This survey documents the modern era of these historic resort and research hubs before more recent expansions.
