Hundred Year Old Map
Mike Thaler, retired geography professor and member of PRP, has located a 1905 map of the Pewaukee watershed. It will be used as a reference document in developing our Historical Profile of the River. This map clearly shows the course of the Pewaukee River as well as the local wetlands. Mike also located maps dated in the 1940s and 50s. Even a brief study of these maps reveals the significant impact the installation of drainage ditches had on the River and surrounding wetlands.
