About this map

Wauwatosa and Brookfield dominate this suburban landscape west of Milwaukee, showcasing a dense network of residential development and commercial infrastructure at the start of the 21st century. The area is characterized by an exceptionally high concentration of memorial grounds, including the expansive Wisconsin Memorial Park Cemetery, Valhalla Cemetery, and Holy Cross Cemetery. These sites, along with the smaller Pioneer Cemetery and Mount Zion Cemetery, provide a significant focal point for genealogical research in Milwaukee County.

Transport and recreation hubs are prominent, from the Lawrence J Timmerman Airport in the north to the Milwaukee Mile racetrack in West Allis to the southeast. The natural drainage of the Menomonee River and its tributaries, such as Underwood Creek and the Little Menomonee River, carves green corridors through the grid, often utilized for public spaces like the Currie Park Golf Course and Greenfield Park Golf Course. Significant local centers like Butler, Elm Grove, and the community of Calhoun are clearly delineated by their respective post offices and historic road alignments.
