1959 Map of Waterford

About this map

The Fox River carves a winding path through this region of Southeast Wisconsin, connecting a series of large natural basins and drainage networks. The landscape is defined by its water, from the broad expanse of Wind Lake and Tichigan Lake to the engineered Cross Canal and Drainage Canal systems that helped manage the low-lying terrain. Small clusters of development like Tichigan and Buena Park show the early growth of recreational and residential communities around these shores during the mid-20th century.
