About this map

The Fox River winds through the southeastern Wisconsin landscape, anchoring a series of glacial lakes and established river towns along the Waukesha Co Racine Co border. In the north, the village of Big Bend sits near the river's upper reaches, while the southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the connected waters of Tichigan Lake and the population centers of Waterford and Rochester. This area is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the Wind Lake Drainage Canal and Muskego Canal, which manage the drainage of the region's prominent basins like Wind Lake and Muskego Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites noted, such as Rural Home Cem, Oakwood Cem, and Saint Peters Cem. The landscape reveals a mix of recreational lakefront development and suburban growth, with neighborhoods like Buena Park and Tichigan established along the shores of Tichigan and Buena Lakes 359. Numerous smaller bodies of water, including Lake Denoon and Waubeesee Lake, are interconnected by a modern road system that includes Milwaukee Ave and Loomis Rd.
