About this map

The Fox River carves a winding path through the border of Waukesha and Racine counties, serving as the hydraulic backbone for the lakeside settlements of Tichigan and Waterford. This landscape is defined by its post-glacial hydrology, featuring a dense cluster of water bodies including Tichigan Lake, Wind Lake, and Lake Denoon. These waters supported early recreational and residential growth, evidenced by the numerous Gravel Pits and public spaces like Heg Memorial Park.

Local infrastructure in the mid-20th century relied on a network of rural schoolhouses and civic landmarks. Educational centers such as Dodges Corner Sch, Washington Sch, and Colonel Heg Sch are mapped alongside the Town Hall and St Peters Cem. The drainage patterns are further managed by engineered works like the Drainage Canal and Cross Canal, which intersect the low-lying terrain of Norway and Waterford townships.
