The map was created by Michael Timm in support of companion articles in Urban Milwaukee.
The features were illustrated by Sarah Gail Luther and tie in to our “The Life and Times of Sodium Chloride” illustrated companion story.
The map icons inspired were derived from Sarah Gail Luther’s illustrations.
The web map uses the Google Maps API to provide the intuitive basemap of either satellite imagery or street grid.
We invite you to explore the web map in your browser and encourage you to explore to greater depth through the Milwaukee Community Map in Google Earth. This web map will be integrated there later in 2024.
