About this map

The Menomonee River and its various tributaries, including the Little Menomonee River and Underwood Creek, form the primary drainage system for this heavily developed corridor between Milwaukee and its western neighbors. The terrain is marked by significant urban and suburban expansion, where the municipal boundaries of Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, West Allis, and Brookfield meet. A striking concentration of large memorial grounds is visible across the landscape, including Wisconsin Memorial Park Cem and Pinelawn Memorial Park, which occupy expansive tracts amidst the dense residential street grid.

Water management and recreation are integrated into the urban fabric through features like the Dousman Ditch and the Underwood Creek Parkway. The map also captures the headwaters of the Root River in New Berlin, illustrating how historical drainage patterns continue to persist through modern infrastructure. This 2018 survey detail provides a clear look at the intersection of Waukesha and Milwaukee counties.
