This rare and beautiful chromolithograph bird’s-eye view of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin looks east toward Milwaukee and Lake Michigan. The Menomonee River flows east into Lake Michigan, while Honey Creek flows north into the Menomonee. State Street runs parallel to the Menomonee River on its north bank. Wisconsin Avenue and Bluemound Road cross Honey Creek in the right foreground. Ten locations are keyed at the bottom including the Pabst Building (Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer) and Pabst Farm. In the distance is the growing City of Milwaukee moving into the suburbs to the west. Published by "The Public Park Land Association," a land development company with a four-digit phone number. The verso contains a large map and plat layout for lots around West Side Park which are available for purchase.
